The Cornishman
|July 03, 2025
SKYBUS, the airline of the Isles of Scilly Steamship Group, has announced a major new contract to provide two aircraft to Aurigny Air Services of Guernsey.
-
The new contract will commence on November 1.
Two DHC6-300 Twin Otter aircraft, a type which has been operated for more than 30 years on the Isles of Scilly's fixed-wing air link, will join the Skybus fleet to service the new contract.
These will operate in Aurigny colours between the island of Alderney, Guernsey and Southampton, routes which Aurigny has served continuously since 1968.
"As with Skybus's operations in Scilly, the 17-seat aircraft will also play an integral role in the delivery of air ambulance, mail, freight and pet travel services to and from Alderney," a spokesperson said.
