Don’t bully Joey

AURIGNY has criticised a Flybe advertising campaign that appears to try to belittle it. It is linked to an email that Flybe has sent to customers where it claims to be Guernsey’s number one for low fares, punctuality, comfort and service.

It also compares its ‘professional 78-seater’ aircraft with Aurigny’s ‘small aircraft called Joey’ and how its rival has not added any new routes since 2005. Aurigny commercial director Malcolm Coupar hit back at the claims.

‘The ATR aircraft is perfectly suited to Aurigny’s network and is more environmentally friendly than Flybe’s Dash8 Q400, which, incidentally, it doesn’t even use on its Gatwick services.’

    Aurigny have always done the Islands proud – why should that change? Maybe Flybe need to look at their petty marketing company advisors.
