Ferry service update 19th April - 15:00

As planes remain grounded until 01:00 BST tomorrow morning (Monday 20th), ferry operators are continuing to register record passenger figures for this time of year.

With British Airways, Ryanair and Aer Lingus cancelling all flights today and heavy disruption expected to continue for at least the next several days, passengers are flocking to ferry services as an alternative to reach the UK and Ireland.

Below is the latest information on many of the main operators available on aferry.co.uk. Passengers are being advised to book in advance for any ferry service. The entire ferry industry's booking procedures are under immense strain at the moment, and this may have an impact when booking your tickets on aferry.co.uk.
