Air route takes off from island
A new air service has been launched that will run services between the Isle of Man and Southampton.
The Eastern Airways service will fly every day except Saturdays and will become a seven day service in April.
The airline said the route is aimed at passengers from the finance and insurance industries and maritime businesses heading for the port.
The 29-seater Jetstream 41 crafts will take 70 minutes to complete the trip.
The AlphaOne airline was due to fly to Southampton but has been on hold since operating a few flights to Edinburgh.
