Cornwall Airport Newquay has announced the launch of Aurigny’s new summer route from Guernsey, marking a fresh connection for the 2024 season.
This new weekly service during the summer holidays offers a direct and picturesque link between Guernsey and Cornwall, enhancing travel convenience and fostering tourism between the Channel Islands and Cornwall.
Guernsey is one of the five small islands that make up The Channel Islands. Guernsey is known for its picturesque landscapes, including beautiful beaches and coastal cliffs. The capital, St. Peter Port, is a historic harbour town with a charming blend of old and new architecture. The island enjoys a temperate maritime climate, with mild winters and cool summers.
Cornwall Airport Newquay’s Head of Commercial, Amy Smith, commented: ‘We are thrilled to welcome Aurigny and their passengers to Cornwall Airport Newquay. This new route is a fantastic addition to our summer schedule and enhances our connectivity. It further highlights the growing appeal of Cornwall as a top travel destination and offers a good link to the Channel Islands. We look forward to a successful partnership.’
Sudeep Ghai, Chief Commercial Officer of Aurigny added, ‘We’re delighted to add Newquay to our network this summer, giving the people of Guernsey the opportunity to experience the remarkable beauty of the Cornish coast. Why not make a trip to St Ives, Truro, Mousehole or Lands End. And surf enthusiasts, head out for the waves and the festivals. And likewise, we hope to bring the people of Cornwall to Guernsey to experience the warmth of our three islands, not just the hospitality of Guernsey but the opportunity to travel onward from here to Alderney and Sark.’
Aurigny’s ATR 72-600 aircraft operates this route, offering a comfortable and eco-friendly travel option. With this new addition, travellers can book early and enjoy the unique attractions of Guernsey and Cornwall during the summer season.
