The future of flights linking Alderney to Southampton face further threat.

The island's chief politician says it is no longer being considered a "strategic...vital lifeline" route.

James Dent was told at a meeting last month in Guernsey that the island's Economic Development Committee were looking to remove the 'lifeline' designation of the connection.

Concern is growing that Guernsey's government could pull its financial support for the service.
