The aircraft was operating between Guernsey and the Isle of Man last week.

This week she has moved on to slightly warmer climes this week.

On Tuesday, she carried out a two-hour flight to Faro in Portugal, followed by a two-and-a-half hour flight to Bologna in Italy.

She returned to Guernsey in the evening.

It is believed the airline has carried out charter work for the BWT Racing Point F1 Team in the past and the team was racing in the Portuguese Grand Prix and will be on the grid in the 2020 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola.

Aurigny cancelled all its busy half term Isle of Man flights when the Manx government closed the quarantine-free air bridge on Friday. The airline has also reduced its lifeline links with Southampton, as UK cases of Covid-19 have been rising.
