SANDOWN Airport on the Isle of Wight is to close on 1 October.

The owners, Wharf Land Investments, said, "The airport has lost money for years. The current and previous owners have worked very hard to make it viable but there simply isn't enough general aviation traffic on the Island to support two airports."
