I can't see a time when there are more than 3 ATR's flying at the same time. Why didn't Aurigny pre-plan this so that the remaining 2 ATR 72's and the 42 could cover the rest of the flying without the cost of leasing an additional aircraft. From what is being said, the 42 rarely goes out to capacity
