Hovertravel’s Christmas timetable for 2025/26 comes into force today (Monday), running a revised service through to Friday 2nd January 2026.
During this period, a number of adjustments have been made to reflect seasonal travel patterns and to allow staff valued time with loved ones.
It has been confirmed that there will be no service on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, or New Year’s Day.
From Monday 22nd to Wednesday 24th December, Hovertravel will operate a slightly reduced timetable, with a few fewer services – primarily in the afternoon – while still starting and ending at the usual times.
Customers are advised to check exact times, as some services may vary slightly from the standard winter timetable.
On the weekend, 27th and 28th December, the company will operate a normal Saturday service, with the exception that the 08:00 flight on Saturday will not operate.
From Monday 29th to Wednesday 31st December, services will again follow a revised timetable, with fewer afternoon flights but with the same start and finish times as usual. Passengers should review the specific schedule for any slight variations from the winter timetable.
On Friday 2nd January, Hovertravel will run a reduced afternoon service, consistent with the pattern across the festive period, and customers are encouraged to check the timetable for any minor differences from the winter schedule.
Loretta Lale, Head of Marketing at Hovertravel, has said:
“During the festive season, we adjust our timetable not only to reflect customer demand but also to ensure that our teams can enjoy quality time with their family and friends, alongside a well-deserved rest. We would like to wish all our customers, contacts and colleagues a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year from everyone at Hovertravel.”
Customers are reminded that Hovertravel’s interactive timetable is always the most up-to-date source for information, providing live flight times, availability and instant service updates.
