In my opinion this is an extremely important service to the island and even a twice a day service originating from London City would be ok as long as it made for a sensible return day visit , for example leaving the island around 8am and returning around 7pm. Many years ago Jersey European used to operate a service from London City which flew into Ronaldsway and then went on to Belfast City I wonder why this could not be reconsidered? It would serve two purposes in that it would provide a link into central London and also offer islanders a regular service to Belfast City which was lost when Citywing went into administration. If the turnaround time was kept to a minimum and BACF operated it on an Embraer Jet ( I think they have announced flying into Belfast City from London City) I suspect it could work.
