The preliminary results confirm that the firm has already entered into a contract for the sale of its Channel Island business to Ferryspeed (CI).
This is currently awaiting approval by the Jersey Competition Regulatory Authority and is expected to be announced by the end of this month.

The firm intends to relocate the majority of its operational infrastructure from Bourne-mouth to the main aircraft operating base at Leeds Bradford, with around one-third of the staff moving with the company.
