Dear Sir,
I fully agree with Tom Leeming’s proposal that the Balearics should own and operate their own airline, that is as long as certain people can keep their paws out of the kitty.
Not mentioned anywhere (as far as I have noticed), as an example, is that the “Bailiwick of Guernsey” successfully operate their own airline: “Aurigny.” Aurigny originally was an inter-island service but, after Guernsey was let down on numerous occasions by UK airlines, it was expanded to meet the island’s needs reliably. Aurigny services an island population of about seventy thousand residents and a tourist/business market.
So if Guernsey can do it, surely the Balearics can!
