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 Guernsey team set to expand as it gears up to provide its own ground handling at Guernsey Airport
Blue Islands is set to expand its Guernsey team as the airline gears up to provide its own ground handling services at Guernsey Airport.
With the creation of over 35 new positions, recruitment is well underway for check-in agents, aircraft despatchers, baggage handlers, ramp agents and several supervisory roles.
Rob Veron, CEO Blue Islands said,
So far this year we have announced the launch of three new routes to Liverpool, London Southend and Newquay, plus we have a busy summer programme of series charters for a number of European tour operator partners. Therefore, with our existing handling arrangements coming to the end of the contracted term, we have the opportunity to establish our own presence once more at Guernsey Airport, ensuring focused and attentive, best value handling provision for our customers.
Our entire team at Blue Islands looks forward to welcoming our new recruits over the coming weeks.
