requirement for aircaft to service alderney
I fail to understand how some people feel they are owed a service and demand how many aircraft service there route. Aurigny ran 3 aircraft on the jersey route 2 flying daily plus spare /maintenance. also for the last 2-3 years 2 have serviced alderney daily with 1 maintenance/ spare. now the Jersey route is closed only 3 are needed , if these are replaced with the 228 the service will be increased. and the probability is for london city to be on ATR 72s . the only problem is there will be less capability to up the flights for alderney week as jerseys spare aircraft wont be there in the future, but one cant demand aircraft are kept spare all year just to cover 1 -2 weeks peak.
the Trislander has done its time and given good service i havent heard one CURENT tris pilot wish to keep it the 228 has major performance advantages over the trislander that lead to major safety increases. roll on the future.
