Paul Winfield, Director of Aviation Development for LJLA added, “We’re delighted to welcome Blue Islands to Liverpool for the first time today as they become the latest operator to join the growing list of airlines operating from Liverpool. Guernsey is another fantastic destination to be served from here, giving the region’s travellers the opportunity to travel to this beautiful Channel Island direct from Liverpool, the North West’s faster easier friendlier airport.”
Karel Harris, MD of Sarnia Hotels said, “I welcome the new routes which are being offered as a very positive step for inbound tourism, particularly providing another link from the North of England. Hopefully these will lead to new visitors discovering Guernsey and the other islands of the Bailiwick.”
Mr Veron continued, “Islanders can now enjoy direct connections to the cultural city of Liverpool, as well as the Lake District and North Wales and offers a lower cost alternative to Aurigny’s Manchester service. What’s more the new route will also be a boost for inbound tourism to Guernsey.”
