Royal Mail pulls funding for daily mail plane in Guernsey

“Following the results of a consultation with stakeholders last year, Royal Mail will end deliveries to Guernsey by aircraft,” the spokesperson said.

“Instead, deliveries to the island will use pre-existing ferries resulting in a two-day service.

“It will reduce costs and reflects our commitment to decreasing our reliance on flights as we work towards a 2040 net zero target.”

Chief executive of Guernsey Post, Boley Smillie said the postal service was informed earlier this year about the cut, adding it was “disappointing news”.
