Flights between the Isle of Man and Edinburgh have been cancelled this afternoon due the volcanic ash cloud.

Services on all other routes are unaffected at the moment.

The high density ash cloud that was covering Scotland is moving southwards into the North West of England.

Airport Director Anne Reynolds expects only medium density ash in Isle of Man airspace later this eveing.

She says it will be up to the airlines to decide what they do if that situation were to change..[play clip]
