Next year, the first Loganair flight between the second largest island in the Channel Islands and the Scottish capital for six years will take flight, with regular weekend services between May until September 2025.

It comes after the Glasgow-based regional airline abandoned the service in 2021, following the devastating impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the travel economy.

The Committee for Economic Development's President Deputy Neil Inder said: "Having secured our sea connectivity for 2025 and beyond, the new addition of Loganair to the airlines providing regular services next year is a further, welcome development for our overall connectivity.

"There are business, holiday, and - for many people - friend and family connections with Edinburgh, which will benefit from the choice and flexibility provided by the additional services.

"As people will be aware, we are reviewing our air policy framework to look at how it can continue to evolve to best meet our needs in the future, but this announcement shows that under our existing policy, there is every opportunity for new carriers to establish new services to the island.

"In that regard, Guernsey is very much open for business."
