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:
“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 has become the personal sponsor of Guernsey FC goalkeeper William Dennis, on loan from AFC Bournemouth.
The 100% locally owned airline will fly the keeper in for five Green Lions matches.
Rob Veron, Blue Islands CEO, said supporting a team which brought pride to Guernsey and delighted so many people was a simple decision to make.
As an airline connecting an island communities, we are used to playing an important role in island life – and know GFC have firmly cemented themselves among the Guernsey community, earning thousands of fans. Ensuring they have the right calibre of player in place to make the season as successful as it can possibly be is very important to people of Guernsey, and therefore, it is important to us.
We’re very happy to provide flights for William and his kitbag, and know he will be an incredible asset to this already brilliant team.
Tony Vance, GFC manager said:
The club is very grateful to Blue Islands, their support means our current link-up with AFC Bournemouth is a financially viable option. We’ve seen the positive impact William has had so far on the pitch and I am delighted that with Blue Islands support we will be able to continue the link, and hopefully we can continue our upturn in form.
