Aurigny Air Services (GR, Guernsey) retired the last of its two Do228-212(NG)s on February 13, 2026, ending an 11-year tenure of the type in the carrier's fleet.
G-ETAC (msn 8321) operated its last revenue flight from Guernsey to Manchester and back. The 7.5-year-old aircraft was the younger of the two Do228s in Aurigny's fleet, and had been operated by the Channel Islands' carrier since new. The other unit, G-OAUR (msn 8305), was retired in late December 2025.
Aurigny Air Services has replaced the aircraft with a DHC-6-300 wet-leased from Skybus (United Kingdom). The aircraft entered into service in Guernsey in November 2025. Skybus rotates the assigned aircraft; currently G-ISSG (msn 572) is deployed out of Guernsey.
The Do228s and now the Twin Otter are used predominantly for services to Alderney (from Guernsey and Southampton), which cannot accommodate larger aircraft due to runway length limitations.
The rest of Aurigny's fleet comprises five in-house ATR72-600s. The carrier also provides its code for Skybus' PSO flights from Newquay to London Gatwick, which are operated by Universal Air with a DHC-8-Q400.
