Well, it’s been on all the C.I. media - Air Alderney will be starting on Alderney. - Jersey in February. However, the chances of making any money on this route are minuscule. They would have to capture a lot of the Alderney - Guernsey interline traffic to do so. Maybe they will, but I think that is unlikely. What looks likely is a twice a day service (16 pax) - anymore frequency than that would bleed them dry - & an a/c utilization of about 90 mins per day; & a fairly steep fare structure. Where else are they going to get a/c utilization from ? I think that their only chance of survival would be if they could totally replace AUR in Alderney. That is IF they do actually start the service & maintain it. Both appear unlikely to me.
