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.”
London City
City Slickers switching to London City
Travellers who want a faster service between London and Jersey are switching to the Blue Islands London City service and avoiding the hassle of Gatwick. The direct route reaches its first anniversary this month and, in that time, the morning and evening services have filled with people who want to get to the capital the smart way.
Passengers are now realising the time and money saved by landing right in the heart of the city. London City airport is ideally located in the Docklands, just 12 minutes from Canary Wharf and 22 minutes from Bank station. Unlike other London airports, taxis are always waiting right outside the terminal building for those who prefer not to use public transport. The Blue Islands flight times allow a long day of business, plus great connections to key European destinations.
Leisure travellers are making the most of the new service for easy access to London and key locations such as the O2 arena and the new Westfield Stratford City shopping centre, which are just a stone's throw from the airport. Of course, no baggage charges, free ticket changes and no charges to book on a credit or debit card make it the smart way to travel.
Rob Veron, Managing Director, is delighted the route is fast becoming the preferred choice for discerning passengers.
The London City route was conceived to make business travel slicker and easier. Our strategically timed morning and evening flights allow a full day in London and the airport's excellent transport links and accessibility make it quicker and easier than Gatwick. The flexibility of our pricing policy is ideal for business - free ticket changes mean that if someone else needs to travel or meeting dates change, passengers won't be penalised and it can all be done easily online.'
We also provide a Sunday evening flight so that leisure travellers can make the most of weekend travel to both London and Jersey. No baggage charges and a premium in-flight service give a first-class experience for all passengers. The complimentary bar service on evening flights starts a weekend in style.
Prices to London City start from £69, with no hidden charges.
