Blue Islands new route is refused by Alderney States

Alderney States has refused a license for Blue Islands to operate a passenger and freight service between Alderney and Southampton.
The Policy and Finance Committee decided the proposed start date of 27 March did not allow time for the impact of the service to be fully considered.
The committee advised the airline to reapply, but with a start date of at least six months after the application. (from BBC)
