Didn't DC say that they would keep the best of the Trislander fleet to service Alderney? So why does everyone think he'll turn his back on the rock?
He also said that there was no realistic alternative to the Tris which are coming to the end of their lives. Agreed the Twotter, Do 228, Skylander, et al could operate into ACI, but how much is adding one of those types going to cost? Best guess, say £3-£4m? For an island of 2000 people. That's a lot of SOU trips.
