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.”

Saturday 15th September saw the end of a hugely successful summer 2018 charter season which has seen over 2,000 visitors fly from Rotterdam and Zurich to the Channel Islands on charter flights operated by Blue Islands, on behalf of its tour operator partners.
As a locally based airline, Blue Islands is proud to be chosen by two specialist tour operators to operate charter flights to Guernsey and Jersey which are crucial to boosting the visitor economy by promoting the Channel Islands to new visitor markets. It’s been another successful season with more than 2,000 Dutch and Swiss tourists discovering our beautiful Islands and enjoying a positive experience throughout their journey

The Rotterdam route operated for 22 weeks and welcomed 1,285 visitors to Guernsey and Jersey in conjunction with tour operator Sunair, while in conjunction with tour operator Rolf Meier Reisen, 800 visitors flew on flights from Zurich, during the 19-week season.
Mr Veron added,
In addition to Blue Islands operated scheduled services between Guernsey and Jersey and to and from the UK, we are committed to the facilitating the rejuvenation of our tourism industry, being part of the solution by enabling access to the Channel Islands from European markets.
