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.”

 

mybi Flight Fund - Lucy O’Sullivan

Lucy O’Sullivan fires her way towards Archery GB finals with the #mybi Flight Fund

Lucy O’Sullivan has been an archer for Great Britain for 15 years and has received many caps, representing GB this year at competitions in Shanghai (China), Bucharest (Romania), and Istanbul (Turkey).

As part of the #mybi Flight Fund, Blue Islands has provided Lucy with flights to enable her to participate in the 2019 Archery GB National Tour. The tour consists of seven legs and second place finish at one of the legs put her in a good position for getting to the 2019 finals.

Lucy said,

This year has been so busy already with international events, that the UK events have had to go on hold due to extra costs. But with the help of Blue Islands, I was able to fly to the UK to compete at this event. And luckily a sponsor in Jersey helped me with costs for hire cars. Without the help of the Blue Islands #mybi Flight Fund I wouldn’t have come 2nd at this event and continue my journey to the finals at the end of the year!

The year has been successful internationally for Lucy; with a 5th place finish in Europe, and an 11th place seeding at a World Cup.

But now it’s time for Lucy to buckle down for the UK events, that will see her qualify for events such as the World Championships and European championships in 2020 and 2021. With a good UK ranking, archers are able to compete internationally and thanks to Blue Islands’ support she can focus on winning!
