[mhm]

The number of passengers using the Isle of Man's airport has fallen for the seventh consecutive month, according to official figures.

October statistics show a 2% drop in business compared to last year, from 63,100 passengers to 61,800.

During the month the North West market saw a decline of 2,600 passengers,

Airport director Ann Reynolds said the "sudden dip" in business was concerning, because it came after two-and-a-half-years of consistent growth.

Services to Belfast, Edinburgh, Jersey and Newcastle all saw a "double digit percentage decline", said an airport spokesman.
