Since there is now a little more information on the easing of lockdown restrictions it looks like airlines and airports are beginning to plan for a return to (domestic) service from June more thoroughly than we have seen so far.
Aurigny
- Normal schedule now to resume on 01/09 following the plan for lockdown easing in the Bailiwick of Guernsey announced earlier this week.
- 14 weekly flights to GCI and 14 to ACI currently bookable from 01/09.
- 5 weekly 'essential travel only' SOU-GCI to continue as now until then. E195 being used occasionally to keep crew training up to speed.
Blue Islands
- No updates this week, 29 weekly flights to GCI and 23 weekly to JER due to resume from 29/06. The GCI flights are almost certain to be pushed back based on the Aurigny changes.
- 3 weekly 'essential travel only' SOU-JER to continue as now until then.
Eastern Airways
- Website updated this morning, normal scheduled flights now due to resume from 08/06.
- Full schedule is bookable out of SOU from that date (MAN 17 weekly, LBA 15 weekly, NCL 11 weekly, MME 10 weekly, BHD 7 weekly).
- I expect this will be adjusted down to a reduced schedule (single daily flight to each destination at most?) for at least the first few weeks as demand is going to be somewhat suppressed.
- SOU-DUB start date still tbc.
easyJet
- SOU-GVA on sale 2x weekly starting back up in December as usual.
Loganair
- Schedule for June has been updated this week, some routes dropped and seasonal routes cancelled until next year.
- SOU routes all start/restart from 15/06 - EDI, GLA and NCL all to operate 6x weekly (no Sat) late afternoon departures on ER3/4 aircraft.
- Full schedule currently due to resume from 06/07 (EDI 26 weekly, GLA 25 weekly both on AT7's, NCL 18 weekly ER3/4) although this is likely still subject to change.
TUI
- All holidays before 11/06 cancelled.
- SOU PMI bookable from 16/06 onwards at the moment.
- Govt hoping to allow EU tourists from the end of June. Depending on where the UK sits compared to this it does not seem impossible that this may operate from July or August for a (very) short season.
