Damaged fuel tank could delay flights

Aurigny has said a decaying fuel tank in Alderney may mean delays to flights and a reduced passenger capacity.

It is because the airport's current tank is too damaged to be used safely.

Supplies could be used up within weeks and once gone, they won't be replaced.

Alderney Electricity Ltd (AEL) currently supplies the AvGas needed on the island. They are meeting with States members tomorrow to discuss alternative options.

Both private aviators and Aurigny have expressed concerns about the impact of losing the AvGas supply, even if it is temporary.
