Chief Minister Deputy Peter Harwood said:
"Having been well-trailed in the media, Flybe's announcement does not come as a surprise. I know that both Treasury & Resources, as the shareholder in Aurigny, and the External Transport Group, Chaired by Deputy Paul Luxon, have been considering the opportunities and challenges that will be presented by this development."
Deputy Paul Luxon, Minister for the Public Services Department and Chair of the External Transport Group, said:
"The March 2014 lead-in date will give Aurigny time to evaluate its commercial position, and to consider any potential changes in the operation of their business case in order to react to market demand. In the meantime we have been assured by Flybe that the existing level of services in and out of Guernsey will remain, and we welcome that."
