Readers of the Sunday newspapers will have to wait until later this afternoon.

The papers are being flown in but because of the restricted opening hours at Ronaldsway, the plane will not be able to land until just before 3pm.

Wholesaler GE White will be carrying out a full-island distribution and those newsagents with home delivery services will be making arrangements to get copies to their customers as early as possible.

Many of the island’s forecourt and convenience outlets are also open in the early evening.
