Genoa route one of Aurigny's 'fastest-selling'

A new seasonal route from Guernsey to Genoa has seen 70% of seats sell out in five days, airline Aurigny said.

It said the route, announced on Thursday, was one of the fastest-selling the airline had launched.

The airline said it was offering five return flights between 12 April and 10 May in response to direct community feedback via a survey of more than 1,000 islanders.

The flights were already profitable with the bookings, and the money made would be used to offset the costs of its core lifeline routes helping to keep air fares lower, it added.
