Call for change amid Guernsey airline disruption

A business leader has called for change and expressed his "profound frustration" with Guernsey airline Aurigny after a series of cancellations and delays disrupted services since Thursday. Mort Mirghavameddin, the chief relationship officer at financial group Rulewise, questioned the States-owned airline's "capacity to maintain essential routes". He said disruption had affected both business and tourism. Deputy Peter Roffey said he understood the concerns raised and was working with Aurigny. The airline said it understood the importance of maintaining Guernsey and Alderney’s reputation. Mirghavameddin described his concerns on social media and on BBC Radio Guernsey after days of disruption which included a delayed flight that had to return to its destination on Sunday. He said the airline's service, pricing, and routes had all been a "disaster". "I have very little faith in the States doing anything. He added that the airline's CEO Nico Bezuidenhout and board of directors needed to be "held accountable".<br/>
