Hovertravel Expands Summer Timetable with additional flights
Hovertravel has announced a further boost to its summer timetable, introducing additional flights to meet growing customer demand following the recent early introduction of later evening services.
From 6 April, customers will notice very minor timetable adjustments during weekday and weekend afternoons, with some departures shifting by up to 15 minutes. These small changes are designed to improve operational efficiency while maintaining Hovertravel’s fast and reliable service.


Looking ahead to the peak summer season, from 06 July to 31 August, Hovertravel will operate an additional 56 flights per week, giving passengers even greater flexibility to plan their journeys across the Solent. With a crossing time of just 10 minutes, customers can continue to enjoy one of the quickest and most convenient ways to travel between Southsea and Ryde.
Loretta Lale, Head of Marketing at Hovertravel, said:
“We are increasing the number of flights through the busy summer period to give our customers the opportunity to maximise their days out. Whether it’s a spontaneous trip or a carefully planned visit, these extra services provide greater flexibility and choice during our most popular time of year.”
Hovertravel also highlighted that its timetable remains dynamic, with additional flights able to be introduced in response to customer demand. Passengers are encouraged to make use of the interactive timetable available online for the most up-to-date service information.
Customers planning to travel this summer are advised to check the new timetable in advance to see if any of the changes alter their travel plans.
