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.”
Balloons fly high for charity
Hundreds of Blue Islands' balloons were released in Guernsey to raise money for the 'Friends of Sri Lanka' charity to send a bus to the country filled with supplies. Some 270 balloons soared into the sky and the owner of the furthest balloon will win flights with Blue Islands.
The initiative was the idea of organiser and co-founder of the charity, Graham Queripel, who was pleased with the success of the event.
We thought of this as being a bit of a different idea and people seem to have enjoyed it. Hopefully one will get to France or Scotland.
The balloons were attached to information about the release so that anyone who finds a balloon can get in contact and say where they found it.
The bus appeal raised almost £5,000 and an unused vehicle was donated by Intransit. Filled with supplies such as buggies, walking sticks and wheelchairs, the bus should arrive in Sri Lanka sometime this February.
