Aurigny

Aurigny Air Services Limited, commonly known as Aurigny (OR-ree-nee), is the flag carrier airline of the Bailiwick of Guernsey. Its head office is located next to Guernsey Airport in the Channel Islands, and it has been wholly owned by the States of Guernsey since it was nationalised in 2003. It operates regular passenger and freight services to the Channel Islands, France, the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom. Its main base is situated next to Guernsey Airport, with other aircraft and crew based at Alderney Airport. Aurigny is one of the longest serving regional airlines in the world, and is the second oldest established airline in Britain after Loganair. It was originally founded to provide an air service between Guernsey and the nearby island of Alderney, and its name is derived from the French name for that island.
