It would also be interesting to know of the plans for the old Dorniers (G-LGIS and G-SAYE. Having two different generations with different cockpits must be a drain on Aurigny's resources. Maybe they will order a third NG.
That will probably depend upon finance. With 3 new ATR72s suggested there are likely to be some constraints. . ACI routes are notoriously loss-making so a third NG is probably unlikely. As to the ancient Do228s, G-SAYE has not flown for over a month and may be finished. The suggestion still persists that a composite airframe will be produced with SAYE donating its wings to LGIS. We await confirmation.
