Hovercraft evacuated after smoke development

Thu Jun 25 14:33:11 CEST 2026 Timsen

All 31 passengers have been evacuated from thd 'Island Flyer', with 36 people on board, on June 24, 2026, at 5.30 p.m., after its engines were seen smoking. The hovercraft was preparing to depart from Southsea on on its regular route to Ryde on the Isle of Wight. The pilot and the four crew members immediately implemented established safety procedures. Upon arrival of the alerted fire brigade, firefighters found that the fire had already been extinguished by the hovercraft’s onboard fire suppression system. The firefighters used a hose reel jet to cool the engine compartment and carried out checks to ensure the area was safe. Hovertravel cancelled its services for the remainder of the day.

Hovercraft suffered technical issue

Wed Nov 15 09:57:29 CET 2023 Timsen

Sailings of the 'Island Flyer' on its service on the Ryde-Southsea were cancelled in the morning of Nov 14, 2023, after it suffered a technical issue in the mid Solent. The hovercraft had departed Southsea as normal, but it limped back at just four knots to Ryde. Annual maintenance meant that just one vessel was available for use on the route. With the 'Island Flyer' now requiring attention, the entire operations were halted. As of Nov 15, the hovercraft was stationary in Fishbourne.
