Ian Norris from South Uist has been unable to attend two hospital appointments due to travel issues.
A cancer patient says he has been unable to attend hospital appointments due to flights between the Western Isles and the mainland being disrupted.
It also emerged on Friday some Loganair services could be suspended for at least six weeks due to the situation.Mr Norris was diagnosed with cancer three weeks ago and he needs to attend Raigmore Hospital in Inverness for blood tests and to have bone marrow samples taken. "The tests were originally booked for 28 February and then cancelled because I couldn't only get there by plane but by ferry either," he said.A number of unions at Highlands and Islands Airports Ltd rejected a pay offer last year, and their members' industrial action has involved working to rule and strikes.
Mr Norris said: "This is my first introduction to getting my cancer fully analysed, but there will be people much worse off than me." She said: "Our members have been very hesitant to move to a position where they feel the only option left to them is to take industrial action. State-owned Hial said it was a developing a new business case in an effort to resolve the dispute following discussions with Transport Minister Jenny Gilruth over the weekend.
