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.”
Loganair
Blue Islands selected to provide ATR expertise to Loganair
Blue Islands has been chosen by Loganair as its strategic partner as Scotland’s airline commences a programme to introduce ATR aircraft to its fleet and will draw on Blue Islands’ 10 years of experience in ATR operations.
The programme will involve Loganair’s pilots completing their ATR type rating at Blue Islands’ in-house training academy. Blue Islands will also provide technical aircraft management and operational support for the integration of the ATR into Loganair’s fleet and operating environment.
Rob Veron, CEO Blue Islands said,
Blue Islands is proud to partner with Loganair in this important project which is testament to Blue Islands’ training and operational infrastructure and expertise here in our Channel Islands base, having operated ATR aircraft since 2009.
Maurice Boyle, COO Loganair said,
Loganair are delighted to bring the ATR72-500F into service for its customer Royal Mail in time for its peak season. This challenging timeline has been achieved by partnering with established ATR operator Blue Islands and placing the aircraft on their AOC enabled this timeline to be met. We truly appreciate the training and operational support during this critical start-up phase.
Mr Veron added
ATR is a popular choice of aircraft in the regional airline market place, combining efficiency, cabin comfort and capacity to serve smaller regional markets that depend on high frequency schedules and year-round services. Sharing our technical and operational expertise is another development in the continued evolution of our business.
ATR has sold nearly 1,700 aircraft and has over 200 operators in more than 100 countries, operating over 5,000 flights per day. Every eight seconds, an ATR takes off or lands somewhere around the world[1].
