Flights to London City relaunched by Aurigny

Aurigny has relaunched its London City route which was pulled in 2017 after it failed to make money. The airline will operate a day and evening flight and three daily flights on a Friday, starting in March. Flights to the airport were pulled after three years in 2017, due to what the airline described as a "lack of demand" at the time. Aurigny CEO Nico Bezuidenhout said the new route would "benefit" the island's business community. Guernsey's government-owned airline, Aurigny, first announced a route to London City in 2014, which was designed around business commuters. The decision to pull the route was made in 2017 - then CEO Mark Darby described it as a "loss maker" with planes that were "half empty on most days". It followed recommendations made by Guernsey's government at the time, aimed at improving the airline's efficiency and financial performance. Aurigny had gone through a two-year period of substantial losses, which included having its debt written off in 2015.<br/>
