Question Airport website

Airport website has finally been updated and released. History of flying in Guernsey is done quite well and worth a read. Info for pax and users also given.

It is Austrian Airlines, I believe. It is the same tour operator that has offered holidays to Jersey for the past 3 years or so, Primer Reisen. I would imagine it is a triangular route this year? It is a fairly short season, end of May to the beginning of July.

Yes, they used FK100s & A319s to Jersey. I suppose these a/c could "scrape into" Guernsey !

According to the online brochure its' two separate flights:

VIE-JER 0940-1100/1150-1505 OS2765/6
VIE-GCI 1515-1710/1755-2150 OS2599/600

Possibly DH4 VIE-GCI? Austrian do use them on 3hr plus sectors

Yes, I would have thought that the Dash 8 was more likely for Guernsey; & the fact that it is a separate flight to Guernsey would seem to indicate that.

LGWAlan,

Thanx for the info, are you able to supply a bit more ?


1. What day do they propose this service to run and over what period
2. Do you have a link to their site with this info as I'm blowed if I can find it!

I'm pretty sure u r right re the a/c as the flight times r longer than the JER rotation.

Thnx in advance

Pete

Austrian and DH4 -seem to remember that one of their DH4's operated a summer route in LBD throughout the summer in 2013, possibly for a tour operator. Arrived just after lunch not sure where it came in from but guess it would be one of the resort airports in the Alps -so CGI should not be a problem for it.

Hi Pete
Its on page 7 of the electronic version of the Nordische Lander brochure on the following link:
https://www.primareisen.com/prima-kataloge/

Basically - dates are Saturdays 4/6/16 until 2/7/16 for the GCI flight.

Just as an aside - example of a longish DH4 -flight would be LNZ-AOK on Tuesdays block time of 3h20

Transfer Through Jersey

Does anyone have any info on the new inter-island agreement with flybe? Just thinking this may be an option if the flights are going to be cheap?

Smile GCI - JER

Current situation is complex, and nothing is certain at the moment. As I understand it:

1. Code share Blue and Aurigny to end
2. No codeshare with FlyBE by Blue has been mooted
3. Blue in discussion with FlyBE re possible franchise agreement .......Blue ac to fly in FlyBE colours and bookings made through FlyBE website
4. Limit on number of Pax FlyBE can fly interisland lifted - cheap fares currently on offer

So cheap flight via JER may be possible but nothing to do with codeshare.

If you remember the TV sitcom "soap".........confused, you will be!

I don't think MAN has any additional flights this summer.

Pretty sure it was 16/17 weekly last summer, but only seems to be 15 weekly this summer.
