That's my point. JB-NM has only ever operated at a frequency of 2 flights per week max., & in Summer ONLY. &, that with a/c smaller than AT72s. I go back 50 years +, to when BKS were operating a Summer service with a once weekly DC3.
I don't deny that AUR can fill a 42 (or even a 72) at times; but I don't think that they can do it consistently. & I'm certain that they can't do it even 3 days a week in Summer (let alone 7 days a week). As far as Winter is concerned; I would be very doubtful of the service operating more than once or twice a week, if at all.
I wish the airline (& Guernsey the best - being a Guernseyman, myself), & I hope that the route is a success. But, even if it is, prepare yourselves for a frequency drop in time, especially in the Winter & early & late Summer. That's if it does start operating at more than twice a week.
