THERE’S a group of tiny British Isles with their very own airline – and they even operate direct flights to the UK and Spain.
The islands of Guernsey in the English Channel have their very own Airline.

Airline company Aurigny is the flag carrier for Bailiwick of Guernsey.
After the airline was nationalised in 2003, it became owned by the islands that sit in the English Channel.
There are five small islands that form the Guernsey Islands including Guernsey, Sark, Herm, Alderney, and Lihou.
Of the five islands, both Guernsey and Alderney have their very own airports.
Guernsey Airport is the larger of the two and offers several direct routes to nine airports in the UK and Ireland.
These include London, Manchester, Exeter, Leeds Bradford, Southampton, Birmingham, Bristol, and Dublin.
Meanwhile, Alderney Airport, the smaller of the two airports, operates flights to neighbouring Guernsey and Southampton.
Flights from London to Guernsey take just over an hour, while a flight to Dublin has a journey time of one hour and 35 minutes.
According to Flightradar24, the airline will operate 10 flights to other parts of the UK and Ireland from Guernsey Airport on July, 25.
Meanwhile, on July, 26, a total of 12 flights are scheduled to depart from Guernsey Airport to other destinations in the UK.
As well as operating routes to the UK, the airline also flies to European holiday hotspots like Malaga and Ibiza.
Other airlines like West Atlantic and Blue Islands also fly to the Guernsey Islands.
Those holidaymakers who don’t want to fly will be pleased to know that they can also catch a direct ferry service to Guernsey.

Condor Ferries operate direct passenger ferries from Poole in Dorset to St Peter Port in Guernsey.
The passenger ferry takes three hours each way, so it would be a long day trip onto the island.
Jersey, which is the largest Channel Island, also has an airport that operates direct flights to other parts of the UK and Ireland.
Meanwhile, airports across the UK are looking to launch more flights to Europe over the summer months.
Plymouth Airport hopes to reopen after being closed for more than a decade while Swansea Airport is launching its first scheduled passenger flight in nearly 20 years this year.
And Humberside Airport could take on more flights this summer, despite being one of the smallest airports in the UK.
