Video shows inaugural Heathrow to Guernsey landing

A British Airways plane has taken off from London Heathrow, marking the start of a daily, year‑round service between Guernsey and the UK's biggest airport.

The inaugural flight was the first on the only direct route linking Guernsey with Heathrow.

The Committee for Economic Development is supporting the route, external with an unspecified amount of public subsidy to encourage business and tourism.

The captain and four members of the cabin crew on the flight have roots in Guernsey or close family ties to the island.
