History
Britten-Norman Islander G-BJED of Air Alderney, May 2020

The airline originally acquired permission to operate flights in early 2017, with licenses issued by the States of Alderney effective March 2018.[1] After a series of delays, Air Alderney planned to commence operations in February 2020, however the States of Alderney ruled that the airline's licenses were no longer valid. It has been reported that Air Alderney is intending to work alongside English airline Directflight, which operate regional flights in Shetland, Scotland.[2][3]

Air Alderney currently owns two Britten-Norman BN2B-26 Islander light aircraft. Currently they are "G-BLNI"[4] and "G-BJWL".[5]
