Aurigny faces financial losses amid competitive pressure from British Airways
The latest in this situation
How it started
What happened
Aurigny is expected to incur losses of £15 million across 2026 and 2027, following previous accumulated losses of approximately £90 million. The airline requires a future recapitalization from the States, as its current financial situation is deemed unsustainable. Declining passenger income and rising fuel prices are cited as reasons for the recent losses.

Why it matters
The airline's financial difficulties are linked partly to the introduction of a new service by British Airways to Heathrow, which is contributing to declining passenger income. The States Trading Supervisory Board is encouraging proposals to clarify the role and expectations of air policy generally.
