Passengers up at Exeter Airport
28.06.08
Air fares will increase and flights will be scrapped as some of the Channel Islands’ biggest airlines suffer from the increasing cost of fuel, the Jersey Evening Post reports.
Aurigny, which runs 170 flights between Jersey Airport and Guernsey per week, has announced that it has increased fares by about 5%. Blue Islands says it will cancel ‘two or three’ of its daily flights between Guernsey and Jersey and increase fares on longer routes. And Flybe, the Channel Islands’ biggest carrier, may cut the number of flights to and from Jersey in its autumn and winter schedule.
The announcements come as Jersey Airport increases its security costs. Passengers face paying another 12.5% rise in security charges at the airport from the beginning of September. It will be the second increase this year and will mean that the security charge has risen by 47.5% since the beginning of January.
