Aurigny cancels flights due to forecasts of snowpublished at 07:19 Greenwich Mean Time 13 January 2017
BBC Travel
Guernsey States-owned airline Aurigny says it is working on solutions to limit the impact of snow and strong winds due to hit the islands and the UK over the next few days.
The company says with London City Airport more vulnerable to adverse weather than other London airports, they have taken the decision to cancel the city flights this morning.
Passengers on these flights can rebook on an alternative flight free of charge or cancel for a refund.
They have also cancelled the flight between Guernsey and Manchester due to the forecast. Flights to Gatwick may face delays but are due to operate.

Fire crews were called into action last night when the high winds led to a section of roofing on an older part of the hospital becoming unsafe.
Blue Watch was sent out to survey the roof and assess the risk at 17:30.
It said the wind conditions were a concern as the operational use of the aerial ladder platform is restricted to wind conditions of F6 or less.
In consultation with representatives from the Health and Social Services Department it was agreed that an attempt would be made.
Two firefighters in harnesses secured the roofing from the aerial ladder platform cage.
