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 growth leads to new Cabin Crew in the skies
Four of Blue Islands' newest recruits have today joined its cabin crew teams based at Guernsey and Jersey airports further demonstrating growth that has seen the airline introduce a second ATR 72 aircraft to its fleet.
Lloyd Collins, Blue Islands' Head of In-Flight Services said,
I'm delighted to welcome our new Cabin Crew to the Blue Islands team following the successful completion of their training programme that includes safety and emergency procedures, cabin service delivery, customer care and first aid.
Rob Veron, Blue Islands CEO added
In just six months, the franchise partnership with Flybe has enabled an additional 60,000 seats to the Blue Islands network, due to Blue Islands' ability to replace an ATR 42 with an ATR 72 aircraft, and the increased local employment opportunities that have ensued. Blue Islands has also added a new Guernsey - Cardiff service for summer 2017, further supporting inbound tourism and providing Guernsey residents with an exciting new direct destination, again only possible as a direct result of our Flybe franchise and the marketing reach it offers.
Blue Islands' accelerated expansion will continue in 2017, with an additional ATR 72 aircraft soon to replace an existing ATR 42, again leading to additional crew requirements.
