Aurigny is to launch twice daily flights to London City Airport (LCY) from Guernsey on 31 March. The route will provide a London alternative to the airline’s current operations via Gatwick and Stansted. Passengers will also benefit from Aurigny’s interline agreement with British Airways CityFlyer (BACF), offering seamless connecting flights to BA’s extensive network including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin and Zurich as well as leisure escapes to Florence, Ibiza, Malaga and Nice. This is the first time this interlining connection has been offered and should prove to be remarkably simple involving no change of terminal and long walks.
With LCY’s very easy access and a flight time of under one hour the route is expected to become extremely popular with Guernsey visitors. The island is culturally rich with award-winning seafood restaurants, coastline walks and a unique history – featuring notable residents such as author Victor Hugo and artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Holidaymakers can also enjoy unspoilt, secluded beaches and up to 45 wild swimming spots.
Andrew Hodges, Chief Commercial Officer, LCY, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Aurigny as the first new airline at London City Airport this year – demonstrating our commitment to growing as a business and offering new destinations to our passengers”.
Last year, LCY took steps to further improve its passenger experience, becoming the first major UK airport to enable travellers to pass through security without removing laptops and liquids from their hand luggage. Since the technology was introduced, average security times have reduced by 50%.
