Blue Islands has apologised to passengers, who have been expressing their anger at recent disruption to flights.

The airline put the delays partly down to bad weather but also says it has been let down by technical issues and the fact that a new aircraft it was expecting failed to arrive on time.

The company says the combination of factors has contributed to the delays over the past couple of months.

We are now in the final stages of sourcing an alternative aircraft to ensure that we can best support our operation with our own Channel

Island-based spare aircraft.We wish to assure all of our customers of our attention to these matters, as we focus on our service provision and commitment to our Jersey and Guernsey operations.

– Rob Veron, CEO, Blue Islands
