Inter island pax levels have fallen dramatically. I don’t think that having to travel via Jersey would have much appeal to Guernsey people. They’d much rather moan about their lot, instead !
thanks - well I should remember I worked for BMA and we sent vast squadrons of most of our viscounts and DC9's to JER every Sat & Sun weekend lol
