I have to agree with Layzell (and I promise, this is the only time) that FR's fare is a little higher than one might expect. FR needs to counter Layzell by stating that this concession WILL result in very significant passenger numbers; JER needs to do something to arrest a very serious decline in pax numbers.
Rumour has it that bmi still looking at JER-LHR.
Jersey's biggest problem is "too many cooks" - no one really knows who's in the driving seat. 4 different bodies either involved in or closely associated with tourism and transport and no clear leadership. It's just an elected civil service and as long as this continues, the downward spiral will continue.
