Aero Mad is right. The ACL report shows that Aurigny has been allocated a total of 590 slots, and there are a total of 590 slots allocated to Dornier 228s. I don't think anyone else is bringing D228s in!
I would not be remotely surprised if the aircraft magically changed to an ATR42 before the service starts. Indeed I'd be astonished if it didn't.
Weekday slot times are not bad, incidentally. LCY arrival 0800 local, depart 0830, and arrive LCY 1815 local, depart 1845.
