Commercially run airport 'good news'

GUERNSEY Airport could 'blossom' if commercialised, Aurigny has said.

The States-owned airline welcomed news that the Public Services Department plans to raise the issue of commercialisation with the Assembly.

Flybe also believes that the airport would benefit hugely from such a move.

Aurigny managing director Malcolm Hart said: 'Other airports have blossomed when allowed to be commercially managed.'

Flybe not only backed PSD's plan but offered its services to help with a transition to commercialisation.
