It seems all flights in and out of Guernsey now, have been disrupted with the entire departures and arrivals boards for this evening showing all flights as delayed or diverted.

You would have thought that this backward island would have come to its senses and pulled their finger out to sort this dispute out. The fire fighters should think themselves lucky that they have a job in this current climate, while at the same time this little rock is becoming the laughing stock of the british isles. Come to Guernsey where you can spend the pound, only if your flight can get there. What a joke the island is becoming.

RFFS Win States Lose.
The airport has not done them selves any favours with this getting this bad and having to close the airport.
What do the States of Guernsey think of this one??? it has been going on for far to long, from what I understand a year has gone by and no result very bad,where so no progrees at all on this,so what next go by boat??
This will not do any good for the little tourism that would have gone to Guernsey, they might go to big brother Jersey or little sister Alderney instead or even stay at home.

Well, it's all over now. At the cost of the PSRC resigning en masse, a petulant public argument between Bailiff and Chief Minister, a massive loss of respect for all involved, and a salary bill increased by £132,000 or so.
Not about pay? We shall see, perhaps - "A La Perchoine"?

Aurigny and Blueislands to merge????
At a meeting today between Aurigny and Blueislands bosses talked about a merger being mooted
Blue Island's Chairman Derek Coates wants his airline to merge with Aurigny.
He made his surprise announcement at a press conference infront of nearly 30deputies.
The States members were there to hear the opinions of the two bosses on proposals to relax air route licensing - both are against the idea and want the OUR to regulate the industry instead.
Derek Coates says States-owned Aurigny must go into private ownership in the future.
Aurigny boss Malcolm Hart says the suggestion had taken him by surprise, but he doubts if a merger will ever happen because the island will want to secure its lifeline slots at Gatwick.

I wouldn't worry Ayline, Flybe have bigger fish to fry and would not be interested in ATR's, Dorniers, Trislanders or Jetsteams
Should BCI not think about getting their business model right before merging with another airline. You need to ensure you have a good customer base and from what I have been hearing from BCI regulars is that they are getting fed up with the changes being implemented (schedule and business model.)

BCI and AUR future
Is there more to this story than what is out at the moment??
Aurigny and the States of Guernsey have been going through a bad patch and is this just testing the waters??or should one say the airwaves with a view of a partnership?
Both companies should be looking forward and this could be the best way to do this?
It is not the right time though doing this when the summer is half way through.
The bigger picture could be for 2010.

DC & his lackies at the Healthspan group have little idea as to how to run a passenger airline properly, the the thought of them merging with Aurigny is scary to say the least. This proposed merger would not be good for Guernsey at all. If Aurigny is to be sold on I would hope it is sold to an business that has airline experience & can grow the airline.
Time will tell.

Competition??

Who are you to comment on Blueislands not able to get one ATR in the air?.
One has to look at the bigger picture, Aurigny has had a number of issues with there ATR fleet not only with the old but the new aircraft.
So before you can make some comment like you have done you should know the bigger picture.
Blueislands were only leaseing an ATR, things have not gone to plan at the moment, where as Aurigny operate the ATR and have a number of unservicable issues not only due to the updated ATRs in to the company going tech but un seen tech problems like handlers making holes in the side of aircraft which do not help.
Anyone would think you work for the airline after you last comment.??

GBALU53, maybe I am much more aware of the bigger picture than you would ever realise. It looks worse from the inside than it does from the outside, that's all I'm saying.
