Aurigny has confirmed it will resume its Exeter route in the summer 2025 season.
The airline says the decision has been enabled by enhanced cooperation with Guernsey Airport, facilitating the required schedule resilience Aurigny needed to resume the route confidently.
Aurigny’s Chief Executive Officer, Nico Bezuidenhout (pictured) said: “We are very pleased to have made constructive steps forward with Guernsey Ports which has enabled us to resume our popular Exeter route. By working together, we’ve been able to optimise the schedule, delivering one which is operationally robust and convenient for islanders and visitors alike.
“We look forward to working more closely with Guernsey Ports in the months and years ahead to further improve strong air links for our communities.”
Guernsey Ports’ Managing Director, Ross Coppolo said: “We have been working closely with Aurigny to better understand how we can support their operations on the Exeter route next summer. This includes adjusting the timings of planned aerodrome maintenance, which takes place outside of our published aerodrome operating hours, in order to support planned, airline schedules.
“This will provide aircraft with a larger window in which to return to Guernsey at the end of the operating day, so that they are in position to resume scheduled operations the following morning.
“Guernsey Ports continues to work with its airlines on their schedules to help ensure the best possible passenger experience for everyone travelling through our airports.”
