It's not the Airport Director who has the power to do this, it is the fact
that Jersey is not a loco destination. When pax can flog off to Spain Eastern Europe and the Med. for peanuts why should they fly to the CI paying pricey fares, and with no weather guarantee?
Wonderful though the Islands are, they still live in the past, in the fares
hotel amenities and costs that are prepared to offer.
In my opinion either Jersey becomes very upmarket and targets the premium traveller,
it goes loco and increases the numbers, or it paddles around in the middle and watches
its tourist market dwindle away!
The Jersey Deputies need to get a grip of this, something they have failed
to do since the 1980s.
