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.”
Enjoy uninterrupted use of personal electronic devices
Passengers onboard all Blue Islands flights will now be able to use their personal electronic devices (PEDs) throughout the duration of the flight including mobile phones, iPads and tablets.
Rob Veron, Blue Islands' Managing Director said
We're delighted we can now offer our passengers the freedom to enjoy uninterrupted use of their personal electronic devices in flight-safe mode, throughout all stages of the flight, from the moment they get onboard, until the moment they arrive in their destination.
This change comes as ATR, the manufacturer all Blue Islands' aircraft updated its policy on the acceptance of PEDs in use during flight which the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) has now approved for Blue Islands flights. Until now, Blue Islands passengers could use PEDs once seat belt signs had been turned off during the flight, now these devices can be used during taxi, take-off and landing.
Mr Veron added
Whether its listening to music, drafting offline emails, picking up the next chapter on an e-reader or playing games, as the aviation world progresses, we welcome such changes that allow our passengers to utilise their time onboard as they so wish.
