The airline is gearing up to expand the Guernsey team and provide its own ground handling services at the airport.

Recruitment is under way for 35 new positions, including check-in agents, aircraft despatchers, baggage handlers, ramp agent and several supervisory roles.

Blue Islands CEO Rob Veron said: ‘So far this year we have announced the launch of three new routes to Liverpool, London Southend and Newquay, plus we have a busy summer programme of series charters for a number of European tour operator partners.

‘Therefore, with our existing handling arrangements coming to the end of the contracted term, we have the opportunity to establish our own presence once more at Guernsey Airport, ensuring focused and attentive, best-value handling provision for our customers.’

Aurigny said it would not impact its staff or operations.
