Aurigny has launched a new route between Jersey and Guernsey following the cancellation of all Blue Islands flights.
The Jersey-based airline announced last night that it was suspending all operations.
Loganair stepped in this morning to offer “rescue” flights for affected passengers, and Aurigny has now confirmed it will operate two daily flights between Jersey and Guernsey.
The States of Guernsey-owned airline has introduced ‘Get Me Home’ fares for Blue Islands customers, which are valid until Friday 21 November, and increased frequency between Guernsey and Southampton.
Aurigny CEO Nico Bezuidenhout said: “As the only airline truly dedicated to our local communities, Aurigny has moved immediately to introduce new services from Guernsey to Southampton and Jersey to meet the real needs of the market and prevent any further disruption.
“We have served the Channel Islands with pride since 1968 and are pleased to return to the essential airbridge route between Guernsey and Jersey.
“We have developed these interim schedules within eighteen hours of Blue Islands entering administration and will announce additional frequencies for Christmas and through the entire winter over the coming days.”
