Aurigny To Connect Guernsey with LCY

Aurigny Air Services plans to start new service between its base in Guernsey in the Channel Islands and London City Airport on September 8, starting with a wet-leased Fokker 50 turboprop. Plans call for two round trips each week with the Fokker for four to eight weeks, at which time Aurigny expects to start flying a newly sourced ATR on the route.

“London City...offers an excellent range of onward connections to financial centers across Europe as well as the opportunity to connect to [British Airways’] New York service,” said Aurigny CEO Mark Darby. “Alongside these connections, London City offers a faster service for passengers with a short check-in [door to lounge] of around 20 minutes, and a shorter arrival [tarmac to train] of around 15 minutes.”

Already flying to London Gatwick and Stansted Airports, Aurigny recently took delivery of an Embraer E195 for services to Gatwick.
