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.”

England dream a step closer for local hockey talent

Local airline Blue Islands is helping 14-year-old Elizabeth College pupil Morgan Clayton try and achieve his dreams by providing free baggage for his hockey goalkeeper kit as he attends the England Hockey Performance Centre in Southampton.

Blue Islands CEO Rob Veron said the locally-owned airline was happy to support Morgan by flying his huge kit bag for free.

Guernsey is a truly fantastic place to live, but does mean on occasion opportunities are harder to capitalise on. That’s why we wanted to support Morgan, he requested a discount on luggage, but so impressed us with his drive, determination and desire to eventually play for the English hockey team, we wanted to do everything we could to support him, and decided to offer the luggage for free. We look forward to hearing how he gets on and wish him all luck in this exciting new stage in his hockey career.

Morgan said he was thankful to the airline for helping him.

I am most grateful to Blue Islands for sponsoring my goal keeping kit bag when I travel to my England Hockey Performance Centre training sessions in Southampton. Blue Islands are helping me achieve my dream goal of becoming a professional goalkeeper, and branding my goalkeeper bag and allowing it to travel free of charge on 22 return flights to honour my training commitments in the UK.

I will post my progress on behalf of Blue Islands on social media. Once again, I am thankful to Blue Islands, Guernsey hockey and Elizabeth College for helping me reach my full potential as a hockey player.

Mr Veron added:

Blue Islands take a special interest in sport across the Channel Islands, regularly operating additional charters for sports teams. Currently we are also supporting Guernsey FC by providing free flights for their on loan Bournemouth AFC goal keeper, William Dennis. We are keen to nurture Channel Island sport and help develop its talent in any way we can.
