Angel 3 Pistons versers 2 Turbo

The Trislander has 3 lycomeing piton engines and the Shorts 360 has 2 pratt and Witney PT6 turboprop.

The whole culture of inter island passengers has changed due to a number of reasons over the years and the numbers have dwinled.

The Trislanders are long in the tooth but there is no aircraft available to compete as economically with it there was talk some years ago of putting deasel engines in the Tris but this has not come out as yet.

With the article in the local paper saying that the papers and mail to Jersey will be comming on one aircraft and this looks like the end of the mail flying for Aurigny where does this leave there Jersey operation??

Yes Aurigny has support from there local governmount but who is the M.D. I understand his track record reads interesting news.
