Aurigny has been in business since 1968, Blue Islands since 2006 (before that Rockhopper, before that Le Cocq's - three name changes in a decade!).

A simple check of web stats shows Aurigny.com much higher ranked (#81,000 in the UK) than Blue Islands (#136,000) - so WHY dump the stronger brand in favour of the weaker one. I can only assume 'vanity'.

And how can Blue Islands - who lost as much money as Aurigny on a much smaller business be 'better run'? Because these aren't 'losses' but 'investment'

Finally, which airline has 11 aircraft in (effectively) two types, and which 8 in five? I know which I'd think was better run!

I hope the States has the wit to chuck this out.....
