Condor fares under fire

Following a summer blighted by unprecedented service problems, a consultation has suggested that the majority of Jersey residents believe that the company’s fares cannot be justified by the service it provides.

The survey was conducted by the Economic Development department and Guernsey’s Commerce and Employment department to determine Channel Islanders’ views on the competition, licensing and regulation of ferry services.

A total of 376 people took part, with the majority of respondents coming from Jersey and smaller numbers from Guernsey, France and the UK.
