Isle of Man flights holding

Hi Folks

Just curious - does anyone know why the Manchester and Liverpool to Isle of Man Flybe flights are currently in a hold?
Thanks

I happened to catch some comms from a taxi firm on the island last night and one of the drivers gave up waiting for a pre-booked fare to land. The dispatcher was using one of the radar tracking sites to monitor, as she kept telling the guy that 'they are still flying around in circles'. Taxi driver couldn't see the airport buildings from where he was parked up. :o

Must have been pretty dense as I think the two flights in question returned to GB. Thanks for the info.
