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:
“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.”
Lily was in the Severn Stars U17 team for the Netball Performance League annual. They were narrowly beaten 31-34 by eventual champions Manchester Thunder in the semi-final but went on to win 33-31 against Wasps to finish the tournament in Bronze position.
I was very disappointed to lose in the semi final, however, it is great to come home to Jersey with a medal to show my fellow players, Head Coach Linda Andrews at Team Jets and Jersey Netball Association who have been really supportive to me. I am really grateful to the Blue Islands #mybi Flight Fund for the support that has allowed me to travel to England to train for and play in this tournament
Lily, who is still only 15 years old, also represented Severn Stars U17's at the same tournament last year (also winning the bronze medal) and was a Gold medal winner at the U15 School Games with the Severn Stars team last year. The past season, Lily has been playing for Team Jets in the National League division 3, the youngest player to ever represent the Jersey’s senior team, which has given her a huge confidence boost and helped improve her all-round game.
In 2019/20, Lily will be studying her A levels at the Hartpury College Netball Academy in England and is very much looking forward to a year of intense training and skill development. She has also made the team for Premier Romans Netball Club and will be playing the 2019/20 season in the National League division 2, alongside Bath Superleague player Laura Rudland.
A very exciting year ahead for Lily.
