charter - 12 pax UK Mainland - Alderney

[ALTSEL]

Hello all,

Does anybody know if any UK or French operator is able to potentially provide a service to move 12 pax from UK Home counties airport to Alderney - AOC/public transport operation???

Hi
A good contender would be LinksAir in Humberside
They operate 19 seat J31s on a UK AOC and do charter work as well as ACMI
Runway should be long enough in Alderney

Charter one of Blue Island's J32s?

[ALTSEL]

That sounds ideal however the only tarmac runway in ALD is about 800 mtrs, can they do it with 12 Pax plus Standard Weekend luggage´???

Nice if so

Skybus did a charter from Blackbushe down to Cornwall only last week - the Twotter, which IIRC seats 16, would be eminently suitable for Alderney and probably not be too slow on a short flight from the Home Counties.

Aurigny themselves could also be interested, of course. The Trislander seats about the same no.

Wycombe, I thought Aurigny retired the Trislander already?

I had a lovely flight in G-JOEY, complete with new EFIS (as they all have) only last week. Lovely, partly because an ex-colleague was flying it.

PS:

ALTSEL, you have a PM which may provide the solution (sent a few days ago).

Far from it, although they are trialing a Do228 as a potential replacement at the moment. I believe it's been operating between ACI and SOU this week.

TheIC - my first and only flight in G-JOEY was in 1978 - amazing that she is still going strong, and has been upgraded!

I stand corrected. That is awesome.... :cool:
