Airline announces two new routes
Aurigny plane
Aurigny is to start flying to Bristol and Manchester
Jersey air passengers will have more choice when they travel to the UK following the launch of two new services.

Aurigny Airlines is operating services from the island to Bristol and Manchester.

Aurigny has been trying to expand its operation in the increasingly competitive Channel Islands market.

Despite other companies already serving the routes, it will now fly to Bristol and Manchester every week day.

The airline, which is owned by the States of Guernsey, will also fly to Bournemouth from March.

Fares are expected to be £36 return to Bristol, and £144 to Manchester.

Managing director Malcolm Hart said it had been successful in flying to both destinations from Guernsey, and he was confident the Jersey services could do just as well.
