Deputies demand to know more about Aurigny move
Monday 19th July 2010, 2:29PM BST.
DEPUTIES are largely against the sale of Aurigny until more details come to light.
Many politicians said they were frustrated by the lack of information and found out about the possible sale only hours before it was announced. Some said their only information had come from the media.
A detailed email was finally sent by Treasury minister Charles Parkinson to all deputies on Saturday afternoon about how the deal with Blue Islands would be a merger and some of the reasons behind it.
Members of the Treasury and Resources board who have been organising the deal support it. However, almost all other deputies have either rejected the idea or are waiting for more information.

what is the difference between those and Aurigny?
Secondly, Parkinson said that the Islanders need replacing at a cost of at least £2m. But in the second breath he goes on about Blue Island leasing the ATRs. Hey Mr Parkinson, if Blue Island can lease the ATRs why can’t Aurigny lease new planes to replace the Islanders? I think there is some spin going on here and it’s coming out of T&R.
Dump inter island if necessary, let Flybe and Blue Island scrap it out by removing the Flybe seat restrictions.
