Servisair's ground handling operation will cease on 19 April

The decision was reached after lengthy discussions with its main customer Flybe.

Servisair/GlobeGround provides ground services at 175 airports around the world.

In Guernsey, ground handling staff were told on Monday the operation would cease on 19 April.

Servisair's parent company said it reviewed the local conditions in Guernsey and concluded it was no longer commercially viable.

The decision does not affect the cargo side of the operation at Guernsey Airport and Servisair/GlobeGround said other aspects of the business were not affected.
