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 plane features in historic stamp series
The Blue Islands Dornier 328 aircraft is to feature on the Jersey Post 'Aviation History XI' series stamps, commissioned for the 75th anniversary of Jersey Airport.
In choosing which aircraft to feature on the stamps, philatelic researcher Melanie Gouzinis opted for a theme in which each stamp would feature a different decade and an aeroplane which has landed at Jersey Airport during that time.
At the outset of every research project, we gather together as much information as possible about the subject. Here in Jersey, we are lucky to have quite a few experts who are always happy to work with us and share their knowledge. Once we have decided what to feature on the stamps, the artist is commissioned; on this occasion, it was Tony Theobald. Tony has provided the artwork for many of our stamp issues, particularly featuring aviation and ships
Mrs Gouzinis explained,
For the £3 stamp, we decided to bring the issue up-to-date and feature a plane which has recently frequented Jersey Airport. Blue Island's Fairchild Dornier 328 is depicted in flight during 2009
The Dornier 328 aircraft was used between November 2007 and June 2010 to service to Blue Islands Swiss services to Zurich and Geneva, and more recently the new London City service until the airline purchased the ATR 42-500 in May 2011.
The stamps will be released on the 10th March and the Blue Islands aircraft will feature on the £3 stamp. All the products in this issue will be available to view and buy online from 1 February 2012 on www.jerseystamps.com or ordered by emailing stamps@jerseypost.com or calling the Jersey Philatelic Bureau: +44 (0)1534 516320.
