With effect from 6th August, Royal Mail implemented changes to its UK Postal Scheme, so it is no longer required to deliver next day mail between the UK and the Isle of Man. These modifications were accompanied by Royal Mail's intention to cease operations of their dedicated mail aircraft, currently used to convey mail to and from the Island, in favour of extending ferry and road freight services. Prior to making this pivotal shift, Royal Mail committed to engaging in discussions with the Isle of Man Post Office.
