Well this morning on the news on Guernsey's IslandFM the main headline was that the the states should not extend the runway as they do not wish to bring the likes of Ryanair and Easyjet in, but that they were in talks with three operators wishing to operate to the Island. Now these three operators have to operate either turboprops or 146's/RJ's. So who's in the running?
Eastern Airways? NCL, LBA, ABZ?
Air Southwest? PLH, BRS, NQY?
VLM/Cityjet? RTM, AMS, CDG, LCY, EDI?
KLM/Airfrance? AMS, CDG?
Aer Arann? DUB, ORK?
Manx2? GLO, BLK?
Lufthansa? FRA, STU, MUC, DUS?
hmmm... either way its interesting and about time the airport had a new operator and some new routes. However I would be very surprised if another operator does come in as the airport lacks a few facilities e.g. Not enough check in desks, not enough stands and no independent handling agent!!
