Guernsey's ports are preparing for an increase in passenger numbers from 1 July when normal travel resumes with the UK, Jersey, Isle of Man and Republic of Ireland.

Those arriving from within the Common Travel Area will not be required to take a coronavirus test or self-isolate.

To cater for the increased demand, Aurigny has announced extra flights to Bristol, Manchester, Exeter and Birmingham from 16 July.

The relaxation of border controls comes as part of a transition to a traffic light system of travel.
