From Dave Le Corre.

IT was interesting to read Senator Alan Maclean’s comments regarding HD Ferries and the level playing field with Condor.

There never has been a level playing field since Condor were allowed to cross-subsidise the St Malo route by using their UK ferries to pick up and drop off cars and passengers en route to France.

It was even more surprising to read Senator Maclean’s comments, bearing in mind that he will probably be in charge of Economic Development. Is this not the department tasked with promoting tourism and competition?

What next – will he be sending the same message to the airline companies that have chosen to suspend flights for the winter, citing the economic downturn?
