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.”
Thousands Raised through Onboard Collections
Blue Islands has chosen Riding for the Disabled Guernsey Group and Jersey-based Helping Wings to be the next two charities to benefit from the local airline’s onboard collections – after its 100-strong Channel Island based team was asked to nominate which charities they wanted to support.
In October, Autism Guernsey and Autism Jersey benefitted from the initiative, which sees the airline ask customers on all flights throughout the month to donate any spare change. During October £2,001.78 was raised.
Blue Islands CEO, Rob Veron, said it was important to him the Blue Islands team were able to choose the next two charities.
For November we wanted the Blue Islands team to have the opportunity to raise money for charities which are close to their hearts. After reading the submissions, I was really moved by the Helping Wings and Riding for the Disabled nominations. We hope to repeat October’s success, and I want to thank our customers for their extreme generosity so far.
Cabin Crew member Sophie Mignot nominated Riding for the Disabled Guernsey Group, because of a personal connection.
When my sister was alive, she used to ride the ponies to help her posture. So it’s great Blue Islands and its customers will be helping this excellent charity.
Riding for the Disabled Guernsey Group chairman Heidi Ephgrave said:
We are delighted Blue Islands has chosen us as one of its charities to support during November. Not only will this enable RDA to help more disabled riders locally to experience the many benefits horse riding provides, it also helps raise our profile.
Helping Wings chairman Eveline Hawkin said:
We are very grateful to Blue Islands for choosing us as its charity for November. We are a volunteer driven charity and all monies collected go directly to the work we do with the disabled and the disadvantaged of our island – to help them experience the exhilaration and fulfilment of flying in a light aircraft. We are delighted that Riding for the Disabled, Guernsey Group have also been chosen as although we work in different fields, our ultimate aims are similar.
Mr Veron said the airline wanted to help children’s charities next, and would shortly be asking for the public’s help in selecting which charities would benefit from onboard collections in December.
