Guernsey Government Underwrites Aurigny's Heathrow Route for Two More Years

Guernsey's state-owned airline, Aurigny, has secured government support to continue its vital air link to London Heathrow. The States of Guernsey voted to underwrite the route for an additional two years, covering potential losses up to £2.9 million. This decision highlights the route's critical importance for the island's economy, business travel, and essential patient transport. While the service recently turned a small profit, it is projected to face future losses, prompting the government intervention to ensure its continuity. The move is seen as essential for maintaining the island's connectivity.
