Isle of Man Airport (also known as Ronaldsway Airport, Manx: Purt Aer Vannin) (IATA: IOM, ICAO: EGNS), is the main civilian airport on the Isle of Man. It is located in the south of the island at Ronaldsway near Castletown, 6.9 mi (11 km) south-west of Douglas, the island's capital. The airport has scheduled services to the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland and Jersey.
Ronaldsway was first used as an airfield in 1928 with passenger services to the UK starting in 1933. The airfield came under Royal Air Force control at the outbreak of the Second World War. Known as RAF Ronaldsway, it was one of the few airfields that continued operating civilian flights throughout the wartime period. The airport reverted to solely civilian flying almost immediately after the war, but the airfield remained in Admiralty possession until sold to the Isle of Man Government in 1948.
In March 2000 the new extension was opened, providing a new land-side catering outlet, arrivals area, baggage hall and departure lounge. The existing part of the airport was refurbished during this time to provide improved check-in facilities and offices, linked to the extension with a new airport entrance.
