Work on dismantling the aircraft began yesterday. The parts are being transported to the Airport before being shipped by Condor to the UK free of charge and taken to Glasgow.
Buying a new plane would cost the Channel Islands Air Search up to £2 million but repairing the Lion’s Pride aircraft could cost half of that figure.
Colin Ferbrache, chief officer of the CIAS, said that the Scottish aviation firm would determine whether the plane could be fixed.
