Aurigny aircraft

A wet lease VLM F50 is currently operating London City service (OOVLZ last noted ) until ATR discussed above arrives.


A glance at the GR booking site shows Dornier operating range of services (identified as being flown by Groupo 7)
Eg 25 Feb GCI to ACI at 0820 and1635, ACI to GCI at 0745;0855;1725.
Today it will fly 1600 ACI -SOU, return at 1715.
On Fri will fly GCI - Dinard 1300, return at 1420. Crew training continues at other times.

Next Dornier due at any time now, but supplier seems to drag its feet. New ac have been ordered and are included in next batch to be built.

I believe Aurigny did not have a good experience when they previously operated the Twotter due to the extreme thermal cycling of engines caused by the short sectors and this has contributed to their choice, but I could be completely wrong.

I think it is unlikely that remaining Tris will be withdrawn this side of Sept
