From a BA point of view, worth noting that through-ticketing from Aurigny to BA is already in place (expanded to LCY flights earlier this year - link below). That suggests that it's not too many steps to see that applying to a Skybus-operated flight (onward to Alderney) and it might help to prepare the ground for NQY-LGW flights benefiting from a similar arrangement with BA.
