AIR passengers travelling on Flybe flights should not experience any delays or cancellations today following the grounding of six of the airline's aircraft.

A total of nine flights to Southampton from Edinburgh, Guernsey and Jersey were cancelled yesterday morning after two planes of the type used by the company crashed on landing within three-days.

Throughout yesterday afternoon there were delays from Southampton to Guernsey, Manchester and Edinburgh leaving hundreds of passengers stranded.

A spokesman for Southampton International Airport said that services were gradually getting back to normal and no further cancellations or delays were expected today.

Flybe will continue to ground the six Bombardier Q400 turboprop aircraft until it is given the go-ahead to bring them back into service by the manufacturer.

The south's other budget airline Ryanair, which operates services from Bournemouth, was unaffected as it uses different types of aircraft.
