In reply to your increase some of it is due to change by the post office and the paper distrubutors.
The mail to the Channel Islands up until two years or so came from Gatwick as well as the papers.
This now comes from Bournemouth.
The reason for Aurigny putting an ATR72 on the mail run is due to a request by the GPO for an increase in capicity.
To clear up some points
Channel Express operated from Bournemouth to Jersey and Guernsey with the FK27 on the paper contract which Emerald now operate. The Channel Express FK27 returned to Bournemouth to operate the freight to Jersey which Air Contractors now operate.
So the only increase of freight to the Jersey at the moment is by Aurigny moving down from Gatwick and now putting on a bigger aircraft from the Shorts.
