Aurigny Dornier 228NG TRIP REPORT | Southampton to Alderney

- Hello everyone and welcome to this video. I have been very excited to fly this flight and bring to you a video about it. So here we are, my flight with Aurigny on their Next Generation Dornier 228 turboprop. Unlike most planes in the world, this aircraft is very rare and has only 19 seats, with no cockpit door. This is definitely the ultimate Island hopper airplane!
My day started at the Southampton Airport Premier Inn which is situated next to the airport. After arriving at the airport, I explored the rather small land side area, which has a few coffee shops. The Aurigny check in occupied one check in desk. Once through security, I was through to the small air side lounge. Here, there was a duty free shop and a few other coffee shops.
My flight was scheduled to depart at 10:15, which would take me all the way to Guernsey on two hops, with a stop on the little island of Alderney in the channel islands. We got a bus to a remote stand at the airport, and I boarded first as I was in seat 1A, and there's a very small door at the back. Due to the size of the aircraft, I had to crouch to get through the door and to get to my seat!
My aircraft was a Dornier 228NG, the newer generation of the original Do 228-212. This aircraft was manufactured by RUAG in Germany and was delivered to the airline in December 2018, to replace the Britten-Norman Trislanders and the current old generation D228's. The newer Dorniers have a glass cockpit, and newer more efficient Honeywell TPE331-10 turboprops, capable of 776 shp each, as well as other changes.
The flight was approximately 30 minutes at 7,000ft at 250mph. The plane was extremely noisy and I wished they had given out earplugs!
Overall, it was a great flight, purely for the novelty! Aurigny now operate a direct service to Guernsey, so you wouldn't generally fly on the Dornier as this stops in Alderney and you pay more for it!
I hope you enjoyed the video. If you did, make sure to Like,

Very nice Airports and a marvelous Flight..... Like a Privat Aircraft !!!
Both Southampton and Alderney airports are much better than mad chaotic Bristol airport.
Yay!! Thanks for the video

Thanks so much, you saved my ass!
@Brodie Wyatt You are welcome xD
I love our flights coming back to my place of birth glad I moved back xxx
Very interesting TR! I didn't believe Aurigny had Dornier still in its fleet. I liked the subtitles as well, very detailed. Thanks for sharing and thumbs up for you!
Thanks, appreciate it!
The dorniers are new! They were brought in to take over from the Trislanders that were retired 2017
@@csaviation9013 thank you for your info!
Hah, i remember flying on Aurigny Islanders in thr 70's, each passenger was weighed and allocted a seat! (Max of 6 passengers i believe, and often one of them sat next to the pilot!) The good old days
I was lucky I got the seat next the pilot flying in Jersey from Guernsey ;)
These planes can land on bad runways , they require less than 800m to take off and less than 600m to land.
Loved flying DO228's for a living. I had a fantastic 9 years with Cobham (FR Aviation).
Great video! Suprised an airline is using such small aircraft if you think about Emirates and their A380's!
The trislander was even smaller.
I don’t think that an A380 would finish braking in time before it went over the cliff.
Was the cabin presurrised?
Did you say that the aircraft is extremely loud? This is very disappointing since my company was thinking of purchasing 2 of these to replace loud twin otters
How many people can boarding on the DC228
not as good as the trislanders, they were definitively the ultimate island hopper
I guess it doesn't have a toilet on board? I'd be no good!
riding an airplane with a red cut marks indicator on it can be exciting.
They all have them, it's just not so obvious on a large one. 😉
Why is it english, the channel?!
Because they speak English in the Channel Islands, and it is made by an Englishman.
@@ciudad-del-mar I ment the english channel kkkk why not french or something else?why english? You bought it for yourselfs?
@@bluetooth2000 The Wikipedia page for the English channel gives some insight
@@bluetooth2000 What does that have to do with an Aurigny Dornier 228?
