Guernsey Civil Protection Volunteers said being called in to support passengers forced to spend a night at Guernsey Airport was a “a new one on us”.
Nine passengers had to spend the night in the terminal on Saturday after a flight between the island and Jersey was cancelled due to severe weather and no accommodation could be found for them.
Dave Hodge, Guernsey civil protection officer, said his team had been deployed just before 22:00 BST by the airport authorities to deliver respite kits, which included inflatable mattresses and sleeping bags, for the stranded passengers.
The Blue Islands flight was due to depart Guernsey at 20:25 BST on Saturday, but was cancelled an hour later due to severe thunderstorms over Jersey, the airline said.
