Aurigny's new Dornier enters service
AURIGNY'S freshly liveried new-generation Dornier is now in service between Alderney and Southampton.
The New Generation model has been added to Aurigny's Air Operator Certificate and the aircraft registered as G-OAUR.
It will be used on the Alderney and Dinard routes, the latter operating weekly from Guernsey.
In a statement Aurigny said: 'Aurigny's New Generation and 'classic' Dorniers will be in service alongside the Trislanders as we continue the complex task of retraining our pilots to allow them to move from the Trislander to the Dornier.
'Crews already trained on the "classic" Dorniers need some time to familiarise themselves with the NG variant. This is because it has digital displays instead of dials, otherwise known as a glass cockpit. The medivac capability of the Trislander will be retained until the transition to the Dornier is complete.'
