The States (and thus unfortunately Guernsey's taxpayers) deserve all they get.
A few years ago they rejected a well-financed offer that would have turned Aurigny into a substantial private sector airline based in the Channel Islands, and owned and supported by shareholders in both main Islands.
The offer protected the LGW route with full legal safeguards.
The relevant politician and civil servant turned the offer down with what amounted to contempt. It was evident that they were barely capable of understanding how the airline industry works, moreover that they did not care so long as their egos were sufficiently massaged.
I hope that Blue Wings prospers, and I'm sure it will. But it could have been a whole lot better for the taxpayers of Guernsey, to say nothing of air services to the Channel Islands in general, had Guernsey's politicians and civil servants been rather better at their jobs.
