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 Summer Charter Services Begin
Blue Islands chosen to bring Dutch and Swiss visitors to the Channel Islands this summer.
Tourists from Holland and Switzerland will have direct access to the Channel Islands this summer as Blue Islands has been chosen as the preferred airline partner by two tour operators for seasonal charter activity.
Tom Barrasin, Blue Islands CCO said:
Blue Islands is thrilled to be selected to partner with two leading tour operators and welcome thousands of visitors to discover our stunning Channel Islands this summer.
Sunair Vakanties has chartered services from Rotterdam to Guernsey and Jersey every Saturday between 21 April and 15 September, using Blue Islands 68-seat ATR 72. While Rolf Meier Reisen has chartered weekly Saturday services from Zurich to the islands between 5 May until 8 September, using the airline’s 48-seat ATR 42 aircraft.
Mr Barrasin added:
As a Channel Islands airline, with a locally based fleet of ATR 42 and ATR 72 aircraft we have the ability to operate high capacity flights over long distances. These inbound summer charters direct from Europe form a vital part of the visitor economy, opening up our islands to thousands of potential visitors, who will help spread the word to their friends and family of how fantastic a holiday destination we are.
