Not sure how many of these have been posted but here are some new routes and services expected in 2004



Air Malta (KM/Malta) will launch a new product called Fare 4U by the end of March 2004. It will operate a no frills, low fare service between Malta and London Stansted three times a week using B737-300s. On May 2, 2004, it will start a three times weekly B737-300 service from Catania to London Gatwick making use of the new bilateral agreement between Malta and the EU giving the Maltese carrier access to the EU market.

GCI Airlines (Guernsey) is a new start-up considering starting operations from Guernsey to Birmingham, Edinburgh and Leeds/Bradford using Do328JETs.


Alitalia will resume its Milan Malpensa-Manchester service by the end of March.

Aurigny Air Services (GR/Guernsey) will start daily Shorts 360 service from Bournemouth to both Jersey and Guernsey on March 7. It is also planning to add services from Bristol and Manchester to Jersey next summer.
