Row over Gatwick – Guernsey route
15.05.08
A row has erupted between Flybe and Aurigny over the Exeter-based airline’s claim that it is outperforming its rival on the Guernsey to Gatwick route.
Flybe issued a press release yesterday claiming that it was 'Guernsey’s most punctual and reliable carrier' and that it had received official recognition of its better punctuality and reliability record on the route after topping tables on flightstats.com for the period March 1 to April 30.
The airline added that the website is used by Jersey Airport as a measure for airline performance. Flybe was the only airline to get a ‘very good’ rating on the site for the highlighted period, achieving better punctuality and reliability than Aurigny, it says.
But Aurigny slammed Flybe and claimed the website’s findings were nothing to be proud of. The airline's commercial director, Malcolm Coupar, said: ‘We invite the public of Guernsey to go to flightstats.com to look at the figures for themselves. We find it hard to believe why Flybe consider these statistics to be something worth shouting about.’
