From tomorrow morning (May 31) there will no longer be a general pick-up/drop-off lane at Ronaldsway Airport.
The decision has been made to remove the lane as we know it due to an increase in unattended vehicles at the front of the terminal and a near-miss incident between a customer and a bus.
The Airport says that to ‘ensure everyone’s safety’, it is making significant changes starting at 6am on Friday, May 31.
Significant changes
• Inner Lane: Closed to all traffic with barriers and security staff manning.
• Middle Lane: Reserved for buses, Malew plated taxis, pre-booked taxis, disabled drop-off/pick-up, patient transfer minibuses, and airport staff.
• Pre-booked Taxis: Use the usual pick-up space (next to hire car park).
• Patient Transfer Minibuses: Continue using the same for pick-up/drop-off.
• Disabled Parking: Spaces remain available in the premium car park, with 1 hour free and then charged at the standard parking rate.
All other traffic must use the main car park to drop off/pick up passengers.
A spokesperson says that the ‘decision has not been taken lightly, but the safety and security of all customers and staff are our top priorities’.
