While it did not state when exactly it would launch, it said that it would begin with services from Alderney to Shoreham by Sea in the United Kingdom and later add services to Jersey.

"We believe these two routes together will offer you the best options for onward journeys, connecting family & friends, business, and much, much more. We will be in touch very soon with more information regarding further details on how to charter a flight, the frequency of our scheduled flights and our competitive prices," it said.

Air Alderney also plans to connect Alderney with Guernsey. All flights will be operated with the carrier's sole BN-2, G-BLNI (msn 2188).
 
I've not been to the island nor considered going there but I hope that they price doing what the island currently needs and not what somebody says they need. The cost difference between the two are probably considerable and one is necessary and the other is probably much more expensive and not affordable or necessary.

One or two Skyvans (as pictured) would probably help (if they can still be found in working order) as they can takeoff and land on a virtual sixpence.

Air Alderney, Eclipso Air and Finist’air have all applied for a licence to run a scheduled passenger and cargo service between the two islands.
The applications are due to be considered by Alderney’s Policy & Finance Committee at a special meeting to be held in the coming weeks.
A local aviation enthusiast, who preferred not to be named, said there had not been regular flights between the two islands since Aurigny ran a service at least up to the late 1990s.
‘It was a pretty limited summer service even back then,’ he said.
He said he believed Air Alderney was a very professional outfit who operated the right type of aircraft for the route.
The airline formed in 2017, but did not offer any services in its first five years.
It has since been offering charter flights between the islands and airports on the south coast.
‘They use the Britten-Norman Islander, which Aurigny started off with,’ he said.
‘They have eight to nine seats, so would be ideal.’
He said Finist’air is a French regional airline based at Brest Bretagne Airport.
Founded in 1981, the company’s primary role was to provide a public transport air link with the island of Ushant.
The island, 20km west of the Brittany coast, has a population of less than 1,000 people.
In 2020 Finist’air expanded its offerings to include charter flights across the region.
‘Finist’air use a Cessna Caravan which can take about eight people,’ he said.
‘They appear to be starting a service to Jersey from Brest this summer operating on Fridays and Sundays.’
Little is known about the third company, Eclipso Air, whose website does not include contact details, but does promise that ‘big changes are coming to inter-island travel in the Channel Islands’.

Well it looks like I'm off to Australia and New Zealand next year! Booked with BA from Manchester via Heathrow with a stop in Singapore and returning with Air New Zealand and BA via LAX to Heathrow. Will circumnavigate the globe and be my first trans-Pacific flight. First long haul flight with BA as well and of course Air NZ.
15 years at the same company was reached the weekend before last. Not sure how they will mark the occasion apart from the compulsory payirse to minimum wage (1st rise for 2 years; i was 15% above it back then!)

Hi, I was born and lived in B36 for a long time - Lindale Avenue, just around the corner from Hodge Hill Comp.
