How to claim
Claiming from Aurigny Air Services
Aurigny Air Services does not pay compensation automatically. Nothing happens until someone claims, and plenty of first claims come back refused when the airline blames something outside its control.
Aurigny is based in Guernsey, not the UK or EU, so by its own policy UK261/EU261 only covers flights departing the UK or Europe, not the Channel Islands, and it pays a flat €250/£220 rather than the usual distance-based amounts.
The rules do not change with the airline. What decides your claim is where the flight took off and how late it landed, not whose aircraft it was.

What the rules turn on
Where the flight departed decides everything, not the airline's nationality. Anything leaving a UK airport is covered by UK261 whoever operates it, and anything leaving the EU by EU261. A delay of 3 or more hours on arrival pays £220 each on the distances Aurigny Air Services flies, when the cause was within the airline's control, which covers technical faults, crew shortages and the knock-on from a late inbound aircraft. It pays nothing when the cause was genuinely extraordinary, though airlines stretch that word further than the case law supports, so a refusal on those grounds is worth testing rather than accepting.
