Eastern Airways and Aurigny announce codeshare partnership

Eastern Airways will enter a codeshare partnership with Aurigny, helping both regional airlines offer travellers comprehensive connectivity benefits across each-others expanding networks.

Both operators are aligning their booking system by working with the developers of Worldwide by easyJet, to allow a seamless single point of booking for each other?s services to or from Guernsey, as well as benefiting from the expansive Southampton network offered on Eastern Airways. This will be bookable at www.easternairways.com from later this month as schedules become aligned to allow connectivity.

Tony Burgess, managing director, Eastern Airways, added: ?We are delighted to announce and excited to commence this partnership with our friends at Aurigny, which will allow us to and collectively provide greater connectivity focused initially on our Southampton Airport hub. This will open up a wide array of connections throughout the UK and the Channel Islands to all of our customers including Manchester, Belfast, Leeds-Bradford, Teesside, Aberdeen, Dublin and new destinations planned for 2021?

Commercial director at Aurigny, Malcolm Coupar said: ?This is great news for our customers as it is often a challenge in small market jurisdictions to offer the regional connectivity desired by all as demand does not justify direct flights. By teaming up with Eastern we are able to provide our customers with more regional choice out of Southampton.?

As COVID-19 restrictions remain, services will continue to have extensive cleaning measures on-board and throughout all aspects of each airport. 

The Humberside Airport based carrier provides a network of routes from airports including Aberdeen, Alicante, Anglesey, Belfast City, Cardiff, Dublin, Humberside, Isle of Man, Leeds Bradford, London Heathrow, Manchester, Newcastle, Southampton, and Teesside International.
