For someone to come from so far away and have outstanding support for Aurigny seem strange.

The airline has over the years gone through many a time warp, and are still in one on some occasions, the apron strings still seem attached to the northern rock, the locals know where that is, but for the outsiders will have to work that one out.

The Channel Islands have seen many an opperator with the flying baguette coming down the approach with a good cross wind and the landing looks interesting.

Jersey had two ATR72s based for a number of years and when they were operating in crosswinds compared to there U.K. based counter parts you would see they could handlle the aircraft better as they would be doing more cross wind landings by being based in the Channel Islands than the rest of there company pilots.

We also understand that the company is trying to source another ATR72 for the new year this must have something to do with the end of the Shed in the Channel Islands??
