The States of Guernsey-owned airline is the first to be granted a licence in the wake of the collapse of Blue Islands.
Guernsey's Transport Licencing Authority has received three bids to fly lifeline routes.
One of those, Jersey - Guernsey, was designated 'lifeline' following the collapse of Blue Islands in November, as it as seen as essential to keep the two communities connected.
The Authority says applications are dealt with in the date order from when they are lodged, and this was filed by Aurigny first.
The airline is already flying the route, but will be able to do so with the special permission from mid-January.
It is allowed to carry both passengers and cargo, with conditions, although these are not detailed.
Deputy John Gollop, the President of the Transport Licensing Authority, says the decision was made according to strict guidelines:
“The TLA followed a rigorous process set out in the law, which included consideration of representations received from the public, other interested parties and the applicant, as part of the application consultation process."
It is known that around 100 representations were received following a public consultation, which Deputy Gollop acknowledges:
"Members of the TLA are grateful for the engagement it received from members of the public and interested parties.”
The Authority is still considering applications from Scottish carrier Loganair to operate to Jersey and to Southampton.
It is currently serving the Jersey route alongside Aurigny, having stepped in at short notice in mid-November when Blue Islands ceased trading.
