What happened to GR607
Aurigny Air Services flight GR607 from London Gatwick Airport to Guernsey Airport, scheduled for 16:25 on Thursday, 22 October 2026, was cancelled. If passengers were told less than 14 days before departure, they are usually owed compensation on top of a full refund or a free replacement flight.
Are passengers owed compensation?
Yes, most likely. GR607 departed the UK, so it's covered by UK261 whichever airline operated it. The only exception is if Aurigny Air Services can prove the disruption was caused by extraordinary circumstances outside its control.
| Passengers | Compensation | You keep after 5% |
|---|---|---|
| 1 passenger | £220 | £209 |
| 2 passengers | £440 | £418 |
| 3 passengers | £660 | £627 |
| 4 passengers | £880 | £836 |
What Aurigny Air Services might say
Airlines can refuse compensation for "extraordinary circumstances". Some reasons genuinely count, and many that airlines use don't:
Usually still owed
- Technical faults with the aircraft
- Crew shortages or sickness
- The airline's own staff striking
- Knock-on delays from an earlier flight
Can be a valid excuse
- Severe weather
- Air traffic control restrictions or strikes
- Security alerts or airport closures
- Bird strikes, if handled properly
The airline has to prove the cause. We check the reason Aurigny Air Services gives and challenge refusals that don't hold up.

Frequently asked questions
Can I claim compensation for GR607 on Thursday, 22 October 2026?+
Very likely, yes. GR607 from London to Saint Peter Port was cancelled, which is the kind of disruption UK261 pays compensation for, unless Aurigny Air Services can prove it was caused by extraordinary circumstances such as severe weather or an air traffic control restriction.
How much compensation is GR607 worth?+
£220 per passenger under UK261, based on a flight distance of about 256km. Every passenger on the booking can claim, including children, so a family of four could be owed £880.
What if Aurigny Air Services says it was extraordinary circumstances?+
Airlines often say this, but technical faults, staff shortages, crew sickness, the airline's own staff striking and knock-on delays from earlier flights do not count. The airline has to prove the cause. We check the reason given and challenge refusals that don't hold up.
How long do I have to claim?+
Up to 6 years in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and 5 years in Scotland. There's no need to rush, but claims are easier while your booking details and messages from the airline are to hand.
Do I need my boarding pass to start?+
No. Your booking reference and the names of the passengers are enough to start. If anything else is needed later, such as a boarding pass or ID, we'll ask.
