Aer Arann says it will cease its PSO contract service from Na Minne airport in Inverin on December 6th.
Negotiations are continuing in relation to the service between Aer Arann, Senator Pádraig Ó Céidigh, who owns Na Minne airport, and the Department of the Gaeltacht.
There is a plan that Shannon Airport be used for the service if no resolution is reached by the deadline date of December 6th.
