Keith Beecham, Visit Jersey CEO said,

It’s great news that Blue Islands and Globalis will be cooperating to bring German holidaymakers to Jersey in 2019. We are especially pleased that planes will start arriving earlier - from April and leaving later in October so some German visitors can experience Jersey in Spring or Autumn.
