Alderney

News of a possible airfield operator for the airport is great news for Alderney. This place is like portacabin-city and needs new facilities urgently, something that the States of Guernsey don't want to provide.
Runway not long enough for J32 ops. However, recently heard talk of extending to 1200m and attempts are being made to acquire land at the east end of 26/08. Could all be linked with new operator?
Rockhopper (blueislands) are about to announce a much reduced schedule. Flights from Alderney to BOH, JER and Shoreham are all being cutback. Can't see why as their new hotel opens here this summer.
Once again, a carrier is born in Alderney, then runs away to the other islands thinking they can make more money!
