The Alderney Chamber of Commerce has called for a review into the public service obligation (PSO) routes operated by Aurigny Air Services (GR, Guernsey) to the island from Southampton and Guernsey. Based on responses to a recent public survey, chamber president Andrew Eggleston concluded that the transport arrangement "is not delivering, and has not been delivering, the reliable and accessible service that our island needs." Shortcomings voiced in the survey include, among other things, a lack of replacement aircraft and crew, insufficient capacity during peak periods, and poor communication.
Aurigny operates the routes using DHC-6-300s wet leased from Skybus (United Kingdom), following the retirement of its last Do228-212(NG)s in February 2026. The airline sold the two aircraft at the end of September.
