Generally, AUR could do with more routes (ex BEE ones ?); however, this would stretch them &, it might be suggested, would expose the quality of their management more obviously than it, seemingly, does now. I am not suggesting that the management is poor - but the airline continues to lose a lot of money on the restricted number of routes which it already serves ! The same is true of Blue Island.
Agreed, but splitting the revenue take with Blueislands for example on a Jersey/Exeter route might mean no profits for either. Specially in the winter.
