Are they still intending to get their own airframes, I thought the Trislanders were to be replaced by them?

And at least one has been up to Scotland for a 'check' due to late delivery of the Dornier, but I wasn't sure if it was the leased or their own that was delayed? I see Jethro now saying the Trislanders going in March 2015.

And at least one has been up to Scotland for a 'check' due to late delivery of the Dornier, but I wasn't sure if it was the leased or their own that was delayed? I see Jethro now saying the Trislanders going in March 2015. This was the plan . . The first of two 19-seater twin-turboprop aircraft is being bought from Portugal's Groupo Seven Air, and will be used on the airline's services to Alderney, Dinard and Southampton and for training purposes. "The new aircraft will come with pilots and engineering staff who will remain in the islands for the first few months to offer support to the operations team while the crew gain experience and complete the required training," the Guernsey-based carrier said via social media. The aircraft are set to replace Aurigny's fleet of Trislanders. The airline intends to operate a fleet of three or more of the type by summer of 2015 with plans to replace two of the used aircraft with new ones towards the end of 2016. |

Thanks for that, I'll miss the Trislander, rather a unique aeroplane.
