airberlin Offers New Channel Island Connection

Posted 05/01/2012

German carrier airberlin is to offer a summer seasonal link to the Channel Islands with a weekly service to Guernsey and Jersey from Frankfurt and Hanover.  The flights will be operated between April 28, 2012 and September 22, 2012 using a Bombardier Dash 8-Q400 and will fly on a combined Hanover – Guernsey – Jersey – Frankfurt – Guernsey – Jersey – Hanover routing.

airberlin provided seasonal links from both Guernsey and Jersey to Dusseldorf and Hanover during 2011, but the addition of Frankfurt marks a development in its network strategy.  An estimated 4,000 O&D passengers travelled between Guernsey and Germany in the past year with more than doubled this number, around 10,000, flying to or from Germany from Jersey.
