Aurigny can't even make Guernsey routes profitable. The fact Isle of Man already have easyJet (BFS/BRS/LPL/LGW/LTN) and Loganair (EDI/LCY/LPL/MAN) means Aurigny will struggle on nearly all routes as there is a presence of competition. If they can't make their GCI operations profitable when they are the sole provider on most routes, I don't hold out much hope of the IOM network - but lets hope they can make it work
