There is a press release copied on their facebook page that gives their current situation. It all sounds rather confusing:
Press Release 12/02/2018
We are pleased to announce that the States of Alderney have issued Air Alderney with our route licence to carry freight and passengers from Alderney - Jersey - Alderney.
Furthermore, subject to the decision under consideration of the Guernsey Air Transport Licensing Board; the States of Alderney have also granted us our route licence to carry freight from Alderney - Guernsey - Alderney.
We thank all our supporters that wrote messages of support to share with the Guernsey Licensing Board and continue to keep our fingers crossed.
We are one step further by gaining some of our route licences however still have a few more steps to confirm before being able to publish our timetable and fares.
We can however confirm that we will be commencing with our Jersey and Cherbourg routes of which we will be able to advise operation dates very soon!
We are still working towards obtaining our own AOC with 2-REG however during our application process we were advised that the CAA would no longer issue an Air Transport Licence to new AOC’s issued by the 2-REG. In turn this would mean that we would not be able to fly to the UK or France should we obtain our AOC with 2-REG presently.
We therefore looked at alternative means to enable our operations to commence as soon as possible and in order to meet the requirements of Alderney and its people.
We were able to secure a lease with Heli Holland in order to lease a EC-155 helicopter with crew. This aircraft is registered on Heli Holland’s Dutch AOC and will be re-positioned to Alderney in due course.
Furthermore, we were able to enter into an agreement with Ben Air in order for our BN-2T Islander aircraft to be registered on their Danish AOC.
The above has not deterred us from obtaining our own AOC with 2-REG and we are hopeful that the CAA and DFT find a resolve to this issue soon at which point we would be operating all our routes under Air Alderney’s own AOC.
Thank you again to all our supporters.
