Air Aurigny, or its successor, still operate one between Southampton and
Alderney, or were till recently.


Quick follow up, they still operate a fleet of 8 apparently.

Is that because Alderney, or the Bailiwick of Guernsey, is not in the
European Union, and thus not subject to the same operating rules?



Could be, or possibly they are to small (17 seats IIRC) and fly too low
(service ceiling is 4000m) to come under the regs. Certainly the Channel
Isles are not in the EU.
