Tickets are now on sale for flights between the Island of Man and Guernsey.

Aurigny has confirmed that they will be offering two flights a week between Guernsey and the Isle of Man as part of an air bridge bubble agreed by both island governments that was announced last week.

Fares will start from £39.99 each way and Guernsey hotel and accommodation providers are also offering ’staycation’ rates for those travelling from the Isle of Man to ensure residents will be able to get a good deal for an isolation free holiday this summer.

A spokesman for the airline said: ’Just like the Isle of Man, Guernsey is now fully open with no social distancing measures in place so a visit to the island is a great opportunity to visit somewhere different and enjoy the same freedom.

’Guernsey also offers the unique opportunity to visit other islands in the Bailiwick without isolation too, so you may end up in Alderney, Sark or Herm!’

The flights will commence on Wednesday July 22 and will run until the end of August, with the last flight taking place on Sunday August 30.

Mark Darby, Chief Executive for Aurigny, said: ’We are delighted to be launching a new route in the midst of this pandemic. It is testament to the way both island Governments have handled the crisis and means that Islanders will be able to take a holiday this year.

’This initiative would not have happened without the support of the governments, and airports in each island.’
