Aurigny Air Services

[White Heather]

My exclamation marks said it all anyway, re if

It is a big 'if' but the odds are better than previously. New management, new opportunities, and a CEO who is keen to talk to LBA management and spend a day visiting to see what's occurring. If he wasn't interested, he wouldn't be bothering.

 

[Finger66]

Agreed @White Heather definitely more promising signs and like everything until its all signed, sealed and delivered with the aircraft gracing out tarmac it does remain an IF

LBA now on sale for summer 25 twice weekly Weds and Sat.

 

[Seasider]

That's great news, I used the service summer '23 and everything ran smoothly.

Great news that we’ve retained the Guernsey service whilst other routes operated by Aurginy have been axed.

A good sign the route is preforming better then others, EMA which has been a long serving route. Glad to see it continue.

That Saturday arrival time is in the middle of a very busy time.

 

[Finger66]

Think it has been for the last couple of summers. Should be 2 extra stand to work with though

All of Saturday afternoon is a very busy time in summer.

Wednesday is a pleasant time and more quiet, agreed Saturday is busy, perhaps only quiet time is mid/late morning. Not complaining, great to have them back.

It was good to see that Aurigny are advertising their services to GCI on TV at present, with regional ads tailored to specific airports.

Whilst in Devon last week, ads were for Exeter to GCI. Last night, back home, there was an ad for LBA to GCI on TV. I don't ever recall them advertising before in this way.

 

[Seasider]

And today's flight was operated by ATR72 - G-PBOT, on lease from?

 

[oldendays]

Looks like Iberia or one of their franchisees. Or Avianca. I haven't a clue.

 

[CM.]

It’s leased from a company called Nac. It’s a former Avianca aircraft which hasn’t yet been repainted.

They’ve got another one G-PEMB which is away in France on heavy maintenance but I wonder weather they will repaint that one whilst it’s away.

Great to see them back, be good to see them extend the seasons out along with Jet2 JER starting earlier in the year and finishing later (considering the weather this year)! Hard to predict the weather!

 

[lbaspotter]

Okay I'll answer my own question.

It looks like Aurigny have reduced the Guernsey - Leeds route to just 1x weekly Wednesday service for the next few weeks due to them having aircraft tech problems. The 2nd weekly Saturday is not now due to recommence until June 14th.

Yes, their website suggests no aircraft as the allocated aircraft is shown as
G-XXXX, with both rotations intended using this non existent aircraft cancelled.
Great start. Now you see me, now you dont!

 

[Finger66]

An ATR operator so probably tells you all you need to know!

Oh Uh, anyone know anything on Aurigny? Looks like LBA doesn't feature on its drop down list anymore? Has the service bene axed?
