MEDIA STATEMENT: 14 NOVEMBER 2025
Blue Islands, the Jersey-based airline, has suspended operations with immediate effect and is considering its options.
All Blue Islands flights have been cancelled. Passengers expecting to fly should not go to the airport unless they have made alternative travel arrangements with another airline. For those with Blue Islands reservations:
- For bookings made directly with Blue Islands, please contact your bank or provider of the payment card used to make the booking;
- For bookings made through our codeshare partner Aurigny but travelling on a Blue Islands flight, please contact Aurigny directly – some flights may still be operating;
- For bookings made through a travel agent or holiday company, please contact the company through whom you booked for advice and guidance.
“After 26 years of serving the Channel Islands, we deeply regret that Blue Islands has this evening suspended its operations,” said a spokesperson. “After very constructive dialogue with Government of Jersey in recent months, including what we understood to have been ongoing assessments of the future options, we were informed this afternoon that they are unable to provide further support. This has meant that we now need to suspend flying immediately whilst we consider the options available and how we can help our customers, staff and stakeholders.”
Jet-setting Teddy Bears
The infamous traveller Paddington Bear would have been proud of four little bears that flew in to Jersey from Southampton with Blue Islands.
Dudley, Dora, Eddie and Ella are currently enjoying a break in Jersey from a school in the UK. They flew in with Blue Islands Captain Kerry Holdridge on a flight from Southampton and were greeted at Jersey Airport by pupils from FCJ Primary School.
Reception teacher Donna Lenzi spoke of the children's excitement.
This was an exciting experience for the children in our reception classes. Having real pilots bringing our visitors to us really added that personal touch, especially as Kerry is a past pupil of FCJ. We are very grateful to Blue Islands for giving their time so generously and being wonderful with the children.
The four bears will now experience the sights and sounds of Jersey as they enjoy weekend sleepovers at the children's houses. A journal will be kept by the bears of their time on the island, which will include some holiday snaps.
