Regional carrier Aurigny has been forced to cancel some Channel Island flights over the next several days due to a lack of crew at Skybus, which operates the services.
It impacts the Alderney-Southampton and Alderney-Guernsey routes.
It says flight cancellations will likely last until Thursday 26 March.
Aurigny said booked passengers have been notified of cancelled services and provided alternative options.
The airline confirmed the problem is caused by ‘unforeseen pilot absence’ at Skybus in part caused by a shortage of trained pilots and sickness.
Aurigny contracts Skybus to operate its Alderney services.
Jonathan Hinkles, Managing Director at Skybus, said: “I would like to apologise unreservedly for the inconvenience caused to the community in Alderney.”
“We care deeply about delivering vital lifeline services to island communities – and we recognise this falls short of what is expected.”
The airline said it is currently completing Twin Otter aircraft flight training for crews.
