Jusy spotted your post on this matter
Apart from the recession in the early 80s Exeter Jersey was a stand alone route continuing as such with Air Uk until 1998.
When JEA took the route on they covered it with twice dsily sheds. Combined dsily capacity ftom both airlines 72 as opposed to Air UK 52 from Jersey alone
If you had access tothe facts uou would see thst in 1988 on Saturdays Air Uk operated a service eith an f27 which routed Stn Gci Ext Jer Ext Gci Stn.
So not exactly a combine service over 50 years!!!
