The airline thanked its customers for their patience after the "particularly challenging" period

Aurigny has announced a "programme for improvement" for 2025 after a series of delays and cancellations.

Between 12 December 2024 and 12 January 2025 more than 6% of flights were cancelled due to persistent poor weather, the Guernsey States-owned airline said.

Aurigny said 29 of its 1,077 flights during the same period were impacted by technical issues.

The airline, which flies between Guernsey, Alderney, the UK and France, thanked its customers for their patience after the "particularly challenging" period.

'Improving performance'

A spokesperson said: "The last month has been particularly challenging for the operation, and the overwhelming theme has been weather-related delays and cancellations.

"Like all airlines, we do also have technical issues to contend with, and when they arise, these are frustrating for both customers and crew - we thank everyone for their patience and understanding that safety must be our priority.

"The team are concentrating on improving on-time performance in 2025, with new operations leadership now in place to oversee a programme for improvement on controllable delays and cancellations."
