I have no sympathy for BI losing passengers to Aurigny, it was only a few years ago they broke Aurigny's monopoly on the JER & ACI routes & Flybe's on the SOU & then gradually pinched all their pax, now the boots on the other foot BI cry foul! Tough luck I say.
Yes, but don’t forget that AUR is a States owned, loss making & States subsidized airline. The difference between the two airlines is that Blue Island is a privately owned, loss making & privately subsidized airline ! I , too, have very little confidence in the ability of either airline to turn a profit. The cause of this is that they are both CI based & CI exclusive operations & the CIs are not the cash cows that many people think they are. No CI based airline is ever going to make any money, unless they have a vibrant operation elsewhere.
