RE: Jersey Increase!!!

Don’t get me wrong,I love the Trislander!Its a great little aircraft for short hops across the sea between GCI-JER etc.However,from my own personal experience a 45 journey across the channel is not that pleasent!The aircraft are cramped and rather tiny with 3 extremely noisy propellors,your ears are ringing once you have landed.There is no aisle so you feal rather claustrophobic.
I love the aircraft,its part of my islands identity,when you tell people about Aurigny,they say “Oh yes!The Joeys” The aircraft has been in service for over 30 years and yet still keeps on flying day after day,fantastic!I just think 50 minutes on the aircraft is pushing it a bit for the passenges.
I’m wondering if there will be refreshments given out before you board,seeing that Le Cocqs (The owners of the airline) have a supermarket in Alderney!!The whole purpose of AirX at first was to deliever food daily from Bournemouth to Alderney with an Islander,its now been extended to passenger services.
