Aurigny bookings have soared since blueprint announcement

The head of Aurigny Airlines says bookings have quadrupled since Guernsey announced its blueprint for the summer. Bookings to and from the UK are in the thousands - up more than 350% compared with the previous weekend - with most of those departures from July onwards.

Meanwhile bookings were up 134% on the Alderney network compared to the previous weekend.

Aurigny says it has also seen an increase in inter-island travel bookings since the announcement and will be adding more flights to the Guernsey-Alderney route.
