Aurigny Air Services

[Jerbourg]

I was told that the first Dornier wouldn't be seen until the New Year & would possibly coming from Denmark.

It is a possibility that the mods are being done at DAO in Roskilde. They are a main engineer base with DO 228 expertise. The Air Wales 228s went there on several occasions.

ACI residents aren't not happy with GR at the moment, can't say I blame them..


Alderney flight chaos provokes ultimatum « Guernsey Press

Otto the Dornier, wherever you are right now, eat'cha heart out.

G-BDTO seen flying via East Midlands and Glasgow on the way to George Cormack at Cumbernauld for the SB-190 check that was it was never meant to have.

That'll be expensive.

Hi Aero Mad, Just checking - Are you sure that is why TO has gone to Cumbernauld ?
The last Tris' that went that way is now bean cans.

[Sharklet_321]

Alderney must have the highest propensity to fly of any other British population. But I wonder why no flights exist between ACI and JER?

[Malthouse]

There have been direct flights and they were well used, but when Blue Islands took on the route Aurigny stopped competing and said they would never resume. Despite the States chartering the route for a month and proving that it was viable they have stood by that!

ACI-JER used to be very successful but when Aurigny started operating regional flights from GCI, they didn't want folks going to JER anymore and getting cheaper flight to the UK, rather than using their GCI-UK services. So Jersey was dumped and they blamed it on Blue Islands.

L-410 for GR

I heard today that a Let 410 is coming in very shortly to operate the ACI route for Aurigny.

[five zero by ortac]

L410 arriving tomorrow into ACI.

[JetJamie]

Wow. I honestly thought it was another mad rumour. WOW!

[Skipness One Echo]

So is G-BDTO coming back? G-JOEY wfu? Looking to fly on one before the end.

[rob39]

Any idea what time it arrives? or operator (van air/silver air)

[cobopete]

Let?

GCI arrivals screen shows an Aurigny arrival GR 999 from ACI at 1130 this am -could be the LET. I shall be watching the webcam!

[Ayline]

GR999 will be a Trislander operating an Air Med flight.

[cobopete]

Sorry

I should have known that.............sorry!

Pete

[Aero Mad]

The LET should be in GCI tomorrow (a Van Air machine) and the first Dornier is expected tomorrow or Monday. Busy few days ahead but at least we'll have some continuity of service for ACI.

[Skipness One Echo]

So no more Trislanders?

[EK77WNCL]

They should keep Joey airworthy, give it to the Newquay lot for pleasure flights opb Aurigny

[Jerbourg]

I think a Tri should be donated to the Great British Airliner Collection at Duxford, however I doubt anyone at Aurigny will think that a good idea, preferring instead to sell them all for scrap.


Anyone on here from GR like to comment?
