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.”
Blue Islands fly baby seal to Bristol
Today, Blue Islands flew Barnacle, a rescued baby seal cub from Jersey to Bristol. The little cub was found in rocks beneath the Corbiere lighthouse in Jersey by members of the British Divers Marine Life Rescue.
Painters working on the lighthouse spotted the orphaned seal who is believed to be just a week old. Barnacle, as he was named by rescuers, was at risk of drowning at high tide if he was left alone as he cannot swim.
Blue Islands were contacted by the rescue organisation for help to get the seal pup to a specialist RSPCA centre in Bristol. Arrangements were then quickly made for Barnacle to travel with a volunteer from Jersey to Bristol.
Best of luck to Barnacle, we hope he makes a speedy recovery before he heads out to sea again.
