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.”
Busy weekend of dance and sport sees extra Blue Islands flights
The Dance World Cup qualifiers as well as hockey fixtures meant there was a huge demand for inter-island travel between Guernsey and Jersey last weekend.
Blue Islands operated four additional charter flights on behalf of sporting and dance groups as it continues working with local organisations to help fulfil sporting and community commitments.
Rob Veron, Blue Islands' Managing Director said:
Whether scheduled or charter services, we have the ability to add additional flights where demand allows, not only for sporting fixtures, but also other events where large numbers of people need move between the Channel Islands or to the UK. Flights for last weekend were organised well in advance, allowing clients to choose times and aircraft to meet their exact requirements, with three of the four flights operated on our larger ATR 72 aircraft.
