IOM Airport closed?
 

Just on the news - due to a “Police incident” and the airport closed, suspicious package apparently - the IOM its most likely someones dirty washing so probably a false alarm, does anyone know WIHIH?

Re -opening 11 AM..

I would be concerned if I knew where IOM is.
Please give a name as well as an identifier.

Isle of Man google is your friend

some people would debate that. 😊

IOM = three letters, therefore an IATA code.

Why not post IOM, Isle of Man instead of playing “I’ve got a secret”.
PPrune is read worldwide so clarity is nice.
If I were to post “Nice trip from YUL to YVO then to YUY it would be true but far from informative to 95% of the readership.

But if they were professional pilots, they would understand….

ME

apologies albatross, I was not even using it as the IATA code (though it is), to me it is a bit like saying NY instead of New York but it is mainly Brits that would know!

Not every pilot lives in your neck of the wood ;)
(I didn't know where IOM was initially)

For extra being piloty points, should have used the ICAO code for Isle of Man...or referred to the airport as Ronaldsway

Thanks for the clarification - I was thinking it was Jurby.

And as to the original closure, which this thread was about: https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/airp...n-again-551097

The John Donne paradox.

Had you erroneously interpreted the thread title as meaning that Jurby was closed, you would still have been correct. :O
