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.”

Channel Islanders hit the slopes for half-term family ski holidays direct from Guernsey and Jersey
Channel Islanders hit the slopes for half-term family ski holidays direct from Guernsey and Jersey.
A new travel partnership saw families across the Channel Islands enjoy a hassle-free half-term after Guernsey-based specialist tour operator Allez Ski joined with local airline Blue Islands to provide family ski packages with direct flights to Grenoble.
Rob Veron, Blue Islands CEO, said this was an excellent example of two local companies working together to give Channel Islanders terrific experiences.
Blue Islands was proud to be chosen by Allez Ski as its travel partner to provide an excellent value-for-money holiday, which removed the hassle and expense of having to travel via a hub airport located in the opposite direction to their destination. In total we flew more than 270 people direct to Grenoble from Guernsey and Jersey.
To get their holidays of to an extra special start, passengers were treated to champagne and sweets as they boarded, courtesy of Blue Islands – which operated two of its 68-seat ATR 72 aircraft for each of the flights.
Darren Duquemin, owner of Allez Ski, said:
Creating our family-friendly ski holidays meant working closely with a range of specially-selected partners and foremost amongst them is Blue Islands. The incredibly positive feedback from clients in resort is the direct flights coupled with the short transfer to Chamrousse are a real game-changer.
Mr Veron added,
as a dedicated Channel Islands airline we are always reviewing how we can better serve our communities and partnerships with specialist operators such as Allez Ski are a perfect example.
Allez Ski has exciting plans for the 2019 ski season, and will soon be announcing more great-value family ski packages, to find out more go to www.allezski.com.
