Aurigny Air Services-3
Thanks for enlightening me. It’s sometimes noisy in our house, & I thought that maybe I’d got it wrong. Interesting development, though. If AUR were ever to use ATRs, frequency of service would drop rather dramatically !

Guernsey - Dublin announced from March 29 2022 twice per week on Tuesdays and Thursdays although the email they sent says they could look at starting it earlier depending on travel restrictions

Looking forward to travelling back on business this month 
From today (1 July), fully vaccinated people travelling into Guernsey from the UK, Jersey, Isle of Man and Republic of Ireland will be exempt from all testing and isolation requirements.But 12 to 17-year-olds travelling with them will have to test on arrival and self-isolate until they receive a negative result.
Tests cost £25 each and results are known within 48 hours.
Those who have not been double-jabbed at least a fortnight before travelling will still have to test and isolate depending on where they have travelled from.

Any idea why BI are operating some of their daily SOU routes now? I assume it’s something to do with them working together but still really odd considering their own much newer ATRs aren’t exactly being used much. Such a strange airline.

Does not appear to be any news on what’s going on. Surely it would make sense for GR to do the Guernsey routes and Blue Islands to do the Jersey ones. GR’s ATRs seem to be doing max one flight a day and often none at all. Why would they be happy for BI to be operating their flights for them when their own aircraft are hardly being used? Not sure how they can have such mindless management.

Most of the Summer 2022 schedule has been released, not looked in depth yet as to how it all pieces together but:
Birmingham x8 weekly (double daily on Thursday)
Bristol x6 weekly (no Wednesdays)
Dublin has been upgraded to x3 weekly with a Saturday flight alonside the Tuesday and Thursday flights.
East Midlands - x4 Weekly (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday)
Exeter - x7 weekly (x2 on Wednesdays, no flights on Saturdays
Gatwick - x6 daily on weekdays, x5 daily at weekends, 602/603 & 604/605 and also 606/607 & 608/609 are timed within 60 minutes of each other to allow for Southampton (start) and Exeter (end of the day) flights but capacity-wise that is offset with the Embraer getting used elsewhere for part of the week.
Leeds/ Bradford is still x2 weekly but the flights are now Monday and Saturday.
Malaga - Wednesdays Mid-July to Mid-September on the Embraer
Manchester reduced to x10 weekly - Monday-Thursday is reduced to just a daily flight, but operated by the Embraer (apart from the Wednesdays its doing Malaga).
Southampton is still to be added in (will continue to be a code share with Blue Islands) and presume we will have to wait to see if Norwich and Stansted return - no mention of either so far but wonder if Norwich will replace the 602/603 on Sundays like it used to do.

Aurigny, Loganair and Blue Islands announce a partnership. Quite wide ranging from codeshares through to joint purchasing.

Its great to see Aurigny and Blue Islands working together constructively. All three have niche markets and both LM and Aurigny have very strong brands / reputations within their local communities and Blue Islands is evidently trying to build those ties in Jersey. The three of them working together will no doubt make a comeback by Flybe a little more tricky, and possibly less viable. Interesting to see Eastern are left alone, plodding along.

Evidently GR saw sense and joined the forward thinking, cautious duo rather than sticking it out with T3 who seem to come up with the oddest ideas and give it a go..... The partnership will no doubt benefit all the regions but could well really contribute to GR limiting loses and hopefully attracting more people to Guernsey / making it easier for Guernsey locals to travel.
Eastern have appointed Aurigny as their ground handling agent at LGW for the upcoming NQY service.
A Scillies Skybus Twin Otter arrived at GCI today & has been operating the ACI route.

Flight GCI-IOM-INV
I see that G-OGFC is currently on its way GCI-IOM. Last week it did this then on to Inverness before returning to GCI. Can anyone explain what this about?
