Further to earlier posting. The issue is that the facilities near Braye harbour for storing and decanting fuel from the tankers to the bowsers used at the airfield has been shut down by Guernsey Health and Safety. What is needed is for Alderney States to provide a suitable facility for the decanting to take place.
Representations from pilots are likely to be helpful and should be sent as follows:
Colin le Ray
Airport Director
States of Guernsey Airport
La Villiaze
Forest
GY8 0DS
with a copy to the newly appointed CEO of the States of Alderney
Mr David Jeremiah
CEO
States of Alderney
QEII Street
Alderney

Basic message is
We understand that fuel is no longer available in Alderneybecause of Health and safety concerns imposed from Guernsey. This is a significant issue for visiting pilots and should be resolved as soon as possible.
This service has been well managed and a great incentive for UK pilots to visit the Island.
We urge you and the Alderney States to re-establish this facility with the minimum possible H&S constraints as soon as maybe.
