Tynwald has voted for a review of the policy. It allows carriers to set their own schedules and levels of service.
A system of regulation would see air operators forced to apply for licences, obliging them to provide minimum levels of service to agreed destinations.

Committee chairman Leonard Singer says it's important a broad span of views is considered.
