Regional carrier Aurigny has marked a major milestone on its London City to Guernsey route.
The airline is celebrating its 75,000th passenger since the service launched in March 2024.
The occasion was marked with a visit to Guernsey from senior leaders at London City Airport, who joined in the celebrations.
The airport was recently praised by Which? as ‘by far the best airport in London’.
The route has been popular in Guernsey, especially with the finance sector seeking quick access to London’s CBD, with the terminal just 10 minutes from Canary Wharf.
Aurigny says it has handled some 2,000 same-day return business trips since launch, with a ‘door-to-gate’ journey time of under 20 minutes.
Andrew Hodges, Chief Commercial Officer at London City Airport, said: “We’re delighted to have connected 75,000 passengers between Guernsey and the heart of London. We have a very strong partnership with the team at Aurigny and are fully committed to maximising the ongoing benefits of this route.”
The 75,000th passenger visited Guernsey via London City from Luxembourg; one of 35 destinations served across Europe via London City.
The traveller, Mr. Lannon received a pair of complimentary tickets for the route, to use on a future flight.
He was travelling to Guernsey for a wedding via London City.
He said: “The connection through London City after my flight from Luxembourg was incredibly smooth, and I’m looking forward to celebrating with friends here in Guernsey.”
Aurigny offers over 30 flights per week available for booking until the end of July 2026 at aurigny.com
Nico Bezuidenhout, CEO of Aurigny, added: “We have an incredibly positive relationship with London City, and are excited to welcome them to the island to see the community they support. Between the two London airports we serve, Aurigny is pleased to provide unrivalled direct access to the heart of the city.”
