Aurigny have announced a new route from Guernsey to Dublin with flights commencing 29 March 2022. This is Aurigny's first venture into Ireland and enlarges the regional carrier's network - which has seen Birmingham and Exeter added to its network in 2020. Additionally, this is the first new route for Aurigny since its annoucement of co-operation with Blue Islands to ensure sustainable flight coverage (2). Guernsey has seen British Airways CityFlyer launch flights to the airport in Summer 2021 - to Edinburgh and London City, whilst Dublin has lost Stobart Air and is slowly rebuilding its network to the United Kingdom and Crown Dependencies - with Aer Lingus and Loganair launching flights from the Irish capital to the UK.  Aurigny plan to operate two weekly flights between Guernsey and Dublin for Summer 2022. Flight timings: GR 686 GCI 1345-1520 DUB (Tuesdays and Thursdays) GR687 DUB 1550-1735 GCI (Tuesdays and Thursdays) *Timings and frequencies correct at time of publication Ph...

Loganair have announced  a new route from Aberdeen to Dublin with flights commencing 5 September 2021. Loganair have stepped in to the Aberdeen-Dublin route, following the collapse of Stobart Air (under the Aer Lingus Regional brand) earlier in the month (read more about that here: https://seanm1997.blogspot.com/2021/06/stobart-air-terminates-all-flights-what.html). Following the collapse of Stobart Air, many airlines had picked up routes in Belfast including Aer Lingus, British Airways CityFlyer and easyJet - with all nine Stobart Air destinations now served across Belfast. However, at Dublin, routes have not been picked up at the same speed - with many routes remaining unserved. This is most likely due to the ongoing travel restrictions between the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. Loganair's Aberdeen to Dublin route will not face any direct competitors. Furthermore, it is noted that 48,613 passengers travelled between Aberdeen and Dublin in 2019 (the last full year pr...
