Paris route deadline is extended
Flybe aircraft
Flybe says a route using both islands is more viable
Flybe has extended the deadline for a decision on a new air link between the Channel Islands and Paris.

But Jersey's government says calls for a subsidy of about £1m to set up the new air route are excessive, despite agreement by Guernsey States.

Jersey States and Flybe will meet on Wednesday when it is hoped a compromise will be reached. If not Flybe says it will lose the chance to fly the route.

Mike Rutter, of Flybe, says flying from both islands is more viable.
