When of course Ayline is the callsign for Aurigny Air Services of the Channel Islands since 1968.

I could be wrong, but I think it came from the fact that the airline was founded by Sir Derek Bailey in the island of Alderney - the french name being "Isle d' Aurigny", where all the car registrations begin AY followed by 1 to 4 numbers.
