Alderney

The Trislander is not the only A/c that is able to use Alderney in the public transport mode, the D228, twin otter and let410 are all able to carry maxloads. MANX2.COM flew there d228 into Alderney in 2009 in high crosswinds and landed with no problems. The Deficit in Alderney is made up from ATC/AFS saleries, which are essential sevices and add upto £550000, when you take into consideration that Alderney makes approx £250000 in income for GUERNSEY the Airport is quite healthy. The reason for this is that Guernsey have made an error in there budget for there Airport they won't spend anything in Alderney.Which includes JetA1 fuel, and so the Trislander is still in use. but for howlong we do not know, with them not conforming to modern requirements.
