“What is what” ? Answer is - nothing. At the start of the year Air Alderney announced a two month delay in their Jersey service (because they had forgotten to renew their licence for the route - to the best of my knowledge, they didn’t need one). Move on eight months & the service is yet to start. OK, Covid is a plausible excuse, but will it ever start ? I don’t think so. As a starting point, Jersey is the most likely sustainable route they could get, but the airline’s chances of survival in the longer term rely on getting Guernsey & Southampton. If they can’t get onto either, or both, of these routes they will not survive; or even start. Unless AUR pull out of Alderney, forget about Air Alderney.

You may well be right but, personally, I hope they do make a go of it! I had great fun and I hope others can enjoy it likewise. And it will add to Island life - take the flack off the chickens if they are still there if nothing else! Ah well! Showing me age now!

Well, I could be wrong, also. Nothing personal in my comments, h & h, it’s just after so many years of waiting, nothing ever seems to have happened - even when they seemed on the verge of starting the Jersey service. For an airline of this size & limited opportunities , it is essential that they get a money making route under their belt. That means Guernsey, as a minimum; &, if they get it, they will probably need a monopoly on it. Glad that you had such a good time in our locality !

Thanks KC! Sadly, for all parties, you stand a better chance of a correct prediction than I. Just would be nice to have some good news for a change! And it was some of the crazy Islanders (the people) that made it such fun! A great crowd! Liver almost recovered all these years on!!!!!
