Yes, & now they are giving £850k to a competitor airline so that it can take pax away from their “state owned airline” by operating a competing service which looks like it will only run that service until the parent airline wants its slots back !
More than that, certain elements of the political class, who spent taxpayers’ money on buying AUR now want to spend millions on a runway extension designed to get a LCC operating further (unbeatable) competition for AUR on the London route . Amazing stuff ! Only in Guernsey (& I say that as a , bemused, Guernseyman !).
