Flights resume at Guernsey Airport
27.05.09
Some airlines are being allowed to fly in and out of Guernsey Airport after a dispute over firefighters' pay led to the grounding of commercial flights for the last two days. A lack of fire crews to cover overtime or sickness meant all Flybe flights were cancelled from Monday afternoon, stranding hundreds of passengers. This was followed by all flights except medical emergencies being grounded on Tuesday until the afternoon.
However, Blue Islands and Aurigny are now both operating flights to and from the airport. A spokesman for the hub said flights were expected to return to normal on today after the pay dispute was referred to an industrial tribunal. Firefighters are refusing to discuss whether a deal has been reached, but have said that sufficient cover is currently being provided by them to allow commercial flights to resume.
