Aurigny was never the sole operator on either the Guernsey-Southampton route or the Jersey-Southampton route so your recollection of history is incorrect. In fact Aurigny has never operated between Jersey and Southampton. That route has been operated by a number of operators including Air UK/Air Atlantique/Loganair/British Regional Airlines/JEA/Flybe/Blue Islands.
