Leeds Bradford: Aurigny Air Services Flights, New Routes & Schedule Updates

[JetRob]

Still good to see they haven't canned the route completely for the remainder of the summer. Even a week of potential routes would help people get to where they want to be and to even a few days holiday on a lovely island.

Aurigny Air Services will again operate a 2+ return Guernsey to Leeds/Bradford flights during the December 2020 festive period using ATR72-600 aircraft.

Aurigny Air Services have now removed from sale any remaining summer 2020 Guernsey - Leeds/Bradford flights that were planning to operate in September..

Good news though the recently added 2+ December flights for Christmas are still bookable.

Looks like Aurginy are entering into a partnership Eastern Airways to offer codeshare agreement through its Southampton base. I'm not sure if this will have any effect Aurigny's direct Leeds/Bradford - Guernsey service, but it may well help add some pax on Eastern's Leeds/Bradford - Southampton on the days the direct flights don't operate,

Sadly it would seem that Aurigny have axed there planned 2x flight Guernsey - Leeds/Bradford festive 2020 schedule due to the on-going Corona-Virus pandemic. Hopefully we will see them colourful ATR72's back on the channel island route come summer 2021.

Abit of good news.. Aurigny have put S21 on sale, only x2 weekly flights so a reduced service (as probably expected) but non the less good to see them returning on the route. Monday & Friday flights.

That should go in the "Good News Thread", if you can find it. 🙂

 

[a300boy]

Yippee for now anyway !

 

[LBA4EVER]

can we have a good news page where only good news such as the above can be posted, then among all this doom it might just be a little bit of light for us to go to?

I agree F2W. May be a quiet thread though!

Aurigny Summer 2021 Timetable.

nah I can think of a few bits of recent good news, aurigny, x2 Ryanair based, 2 new jet2 routes etc, it should be called "only good news"

I do agree the GR committment is good news. Alas I fear COVID hasnt finished wreaking havoc just yet! I would love to be proved wrong though

I suppose it depends on how someone views good news. Reducing weekly frequencies from four to two, whatever the reason, might not immediately be seen as good news by some people. Obviously it's better than reducing four to nil. Perhaps we should have something called 'not as bad as it might have been news'.

It's a bit like the football manager who says there are positives to be taken from a match after his team has lost 6-0. The only positive I could ever see was that it wasn't 7-0.

Aurigny didn't even operate in 2020, whilst summer 2019 it was only 3x weekly (Tue, Thu & Sat) using mainly the older & smaller ATR42.

Actually 2x weekly (Mon &. Fri) frequency is not as bad as you might think! It will allow for long weekends or full week breaks. Plus they will now be using the brand new, larger ATR72-600's so seating capacity on the route is up.

46 x 3+ ATR42-500 = 138 (2019)
72 x 2+ ATR72-600 = 144 (2021)

Sadly it's now looking like Aurigny Air Services have also further delayed the restart of their 2x weekly (Mon & Fri) summer seasonal Leeds/Bradford to Guernsey route until Monday, July 19th.

You would think this route would start earlier and be popular due to the current situation?

That is disappointing as I was looking forward to getting a catch of their new ATR’s

The thing is, Guernsey is tiny. They might not be too happy about tourists turning up yet.with the potential to bring Covid with them. I suspect Jersey won't either. All very disappointing, but understandable.
