Guernsey's airline has added extra flights to its schedule as travellers face delays returning home after Storm Darragh.

Aurigny added extra journeys to its schedule on Monday and Tuesday after two full days of flights were cancelled due to adverse weather.

The airline said some passengers may have to wait "a little longer to get where they need to be", but asked people for their understanding in "extraordinary circumstances".

Chief executive Nico Bezuidenhout expressed his thanks "to the whole Aurigny team for all their hard work over the weekend".

The airline said it would be adding as many additional flights to its schedule as possible, including one additional flight to and from London Gatwick Airport and one further flight to and from Southampton Airport on Monday.

It said there would be two additional flights to and from Gatwick and one further flight to and from Manchester Airport.

To accommodate the extra flights on Monday, Aurigny said it had enlisted the help of Avanti Air.

All extra flights on Tuesday would be using Aurigny's aircraft, the company said.
