You either aren’t aware of the history or take things too generally. You do realise BI were set up to be a direct competitor to Aurigny? They competed for many years including on both CI routes from SOU. We now find ourselves in a position where only BI have the Jersey route and fly all but one of the Guernsey routes which was some climb down by Aurigny considering they historically had those routes to themselves and have the advantage of state backing. Then came the codeshare on each other’s routes and now we even see BI aircraft pitching in when Aurigny need a bit of help. That’s a pretty cosy relationship. By the way, I don’t think it’s a bad thing on the whole but it’s clearly way different than just having a codeshare like they do with LM. Now we see both BI and Aurigny opening a large bunch of odd routes at a time when no new additions to the fleet are made and the existing fleet is under strain. Again, surprising the same bad decision has been made at the same time. Would you have made the decision to launch these routes when at the time the issues must have been known?
