Overview
- The Channel Islands carrier suspended trading on 14 November and cancelled all future flights, grounding a five‑aircraft ATR‑72 fleet and affecting about 100 employees.
- Jersey previously lent the airline £8.5m, with around £7m still outstanding, and Treasury Minister Elaine Millar said no further support would be provided while promising employee assistance and work with an alternative operator.
- The Civil Aviation Authority said Loganair would begin services from Sunday with £80 rescue fares on Jersey–Bristol, Jersey–Exeter, Jersey–Southampton and Guernsey–Southampton.
- Aurigny is operating extra flights on Guernsey–Southampton and Guernsey–Jersey through at least midweek, with authorities prioritising lifeline connectivity and medical transfers.
- Passengers were told not to travel to airports and to seek refunds via card providers or agents, as the collapse follows Eastern Airways’ recent failure and underscores pressure on UK regional airlines.
