JERSEY flights will continue to be disrupted today while volcanic ash remains in British airspace.

No-fly zones have been imposed by the CAA in areas from the south of England to northern Ireland and much of Scotland from 7 am to 1 pm.

Although Gatwick and Heathrow Airports reopened at 7 am, having been closed overnight, restrictions mean that there will be no arrivals at Gatwick. The restrictions apply because the airports are so close to the no-fly zones.

Jersey Airport is continuing to monitor the situation and travel updates are being posted on their website www.jerseyairport.com. Updates are also available on individual airline websites.

Passengers are advised to check-in as normal where their flight is shown as operating. Passengers whose flight has been cancelled are advised to contact their individual airline.
