Flybe increases Guernsey frequency

Monday, 27 Apr, 2009 0

Flybe is to increase frequency between Gatwick and Guernsey this summer.

The new summer service from June 29 adds an extra afternoon return flight to help meet increased seasonal demand.

This will bring frequency up to six returns a day on weekdays with fares starting at £29.99 one way including taxes and charges.

The airline used the announcement to take a sideswipe at the Guernsey government for continuing to “drag its feet over” the promised upgrading the island’s airport runway. Once completed, it would enable Flybe to serve the island with larger 118-seat Embraer 195 jets.

The airline’s chief commercial officer Mike Rutter said: “Historically, airline after airline have abandoned their services to the Channel Islands, but Flybe’s bucking that trend with this additional rotation.

“We remain committed to providing affordability and flexibility for Channel Islands travellers and, with six rotations now on this popular route, offer the perfect choice for leisure and business travellers alike.

“Flybe is the UKs largest domestic airline and now operate nine of the 12 domestic routes out of London Gatwick.”
