End of an era
I've travelled on Aurigny for the last 30 years, and have little doubt that the proposed buy-out would a total tragedy.
Aurigny is one of a very rare breed of airline which still has a 'public service' ethos. They are always mightily impressive when it comes to getting passengers home during bad weather, and very accommodating of locals' needs when it comes to unusual baggage, bereavements, illnesses and so on. The Trislanders are also a unique flying experience, one I am totally in love with.
The States may be subsidising Aurigny, but so what? It's a price worth paying for having secure air routes (including the vital Alderney link), and at least one airline in the world that cares about more than the bottom line.
Please don't sell!!
