This will be a variation to the permission they already have it currently restricts the number of pax they can carry between the Islands. Another atempt by flybe to dominate.

Re launch of dropped routes.

Two routes, Guernsey - Nottingham & Jersey - Stansted which were dropped by Aurigny a few years back are to be reinstated in the airlines schedule from Summer 09.

Angel New Service?????

Jerbourg

When will Aurigny tell the world there is a Jersey to Stansted service as on there web site it shows you route via Guernsey.

Will it a direct service? or is a false piece of advertising?

Jersey-Stansted

Current fare (Via Guernsey) is c £180. Better be lower than that to attract the punters.

I take it its EMA?

Might be viable from GCI but with baby already on the route is it a good idea?

EMA is Guernsey only & STN I was told will be a GCI-JER-STN -JER-GCI routing. I don't think the website has been updated with the new direct service as yet.

Angel How long will this one last?????

Jerbourg

So if it is Guensey-Jersey-Stansted-Jersey-Guernsey will it work?

The flight will be leaveing Jersey late morning 1130 or 1200ish so what traffic are they trying to pick up?

I understand the Guernsey-Stansted-Guernsey is not well surported due to its timings so will this work?

Aurigny did operate twice a day to Stansted four years ago but did not give it time to make the route work before they pulled the plug, so how many months will this operate before the plug gets pulled? like a number of routes Aurigny have operated in the past out of the Islands.

Ithink you will fin that the STN route is well supported out of GCI, the exception being at this time of year, but then that applies to most routes out of the islands.

They could do Dublin direct Monday - Friday as Fly Be only appear to be doing it on a Saturday from Guernsey.

Jersey - Stansted

Out of interest just dialled in a return flight Flybe JER-LTN mid-week in April. Came out at c £86 total, bags included, so keen competition there. I don't think Guernsey pax will support the service as much if they have to route via JER.

If the route is well supported from Guernsey why route the flight via Jersey?

Who knows, maybe the frequency will be upped to two a day from GCI, one maybe via JER? Time will tell.

How come if GR are losing millions the owners are prepared to chuck more money at it to see losses increase further on new routes GSY EMA at least bennefits GSY. What does JER STN do for GSY. Sounds like its still the mad hatters' tea party down there

I have it on good authority that the Jersey - Stansted aircraft will leave GCI approx 1000 & operate GCI-STN-JER-STN-GCI.

Guernsey - East Midlands is a strange move. It was dropped by Aurigny a few years back. Are they receiving a kick back from the local government to re-introduce it I wonder?

East Midlands - Guernsey

I would imagine there must be some form of support for the route's re-introduction; a daily service with an ATR72-500 is certainly ambitious, I would have thought they might have initially gone for 3 or 4 flights per week to determine the demand for the service?

EMA

GCI-EMA was very successful for AUR when we had the Saab's, high load factors & mostly full at weekends. Route was given to us on a plate from BMI. Eight rotations a week if I remember correctly. Never did understand why it got dropped - crazy decision. However I feel its now going to take a while to build up this route after a 6/7 (?) year gap.

East Midlands - Guernsey

The route was last operated by AUR in 2004 during which 18,145 pax were carried.
