Isle of Man upgrades facilities
Ronaldsway Airport, the Isle of Man’s main airport (situated at Castletown), is upgrading its runway to comply with ICAO’s RESA (Runway End Safety Area) requirements and is also having a new control tower constructed. FB was there for a week of R&R, but recently wrote an article for AIN’s EBACE Convention News (for the annual bizjet show in Geneva) on the Island’s very successful aircraft register, which is now two years old. Brian Johnson, Director of Civil Aviation, hopes thatit will become the register of choice for private aircraft.
