The completed MoU has been signed and
published. It seems strongest in establishing a framework for the States and Aurigny to communicate far more effectively; weakest as a service level agreement (targets for which come with all manner of caveats). It is explicitly not legally binding. Some of the targets seem totally pie-in-the-sky (39% of ACI-SOU one-way sales to be in the £117-£145 bracket, for instance); on the whole it does a jolly good job of enshrining the status quo into one document. The Alderney operation is formally exempted from the wider break-even objective, although the document does really very little to clarify further where financial obligations end and social obligations begin. This will remain a matter of urgency for reasons previously discussed in this forum.
