Flights to and from the Channel Islands could not land or take off for several hours on Tuesday as fog affected airports.

No flights had arrived at Jersey Airport since 09:24 GMT, although a plane from London Gatwick did land at Guernsey Airport at 17:26.

Nine flights to and from Jersey were cancelled, with others delayed. In Guernsey, only the journey to and from Alderney was cancelled.

Jersey Met's forecast said there was a "risk of mist or hill fog, especially at first" on Tuesday night. Ports of Jersey said: "We advise passengers to pay close attention to communications from their airlines for the latest updates."
