A very succinct, & factual response, there from AeroMad. I agree with it completely; but I must draw attention to the fact that AUR was set up precisely, & only, in 1968 with the sole purpose of replacing Jersey Airlines Alderney services (when they withdrew the Heron from service). The very "raison d'etre" for the airline's existence now seems to be about to be abandoned ! Well, times change & AUR won't be the first airline to completely abandon its routes & history ( if this is what happens). However, this would be, I think, a very much unintended development consequent on the States of Guernsey "nationalization " of the airline; & on its expansion in recent years.
