The Times article is fairly short, the BA section reads:

A much more detailed version can be found here:

This is an annual survey by Which? and suffers (in my view) by the fact that though 7,901 people participate, it would appear they only fly once or twice a year. Moreover given that Aurigny wins this survey year after year, I am not convinced it's not open to manipulation. Aurigny's "hubs" are Alderney and Guernsey, and it has 9 small aircraft in all. In third place, to give a comparison, Jet2 has 85 aircraft, mainly 737s and 757s. Both Aurigny and Jet2 are BoB incidentally.
