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.”

Even more choice for travel to the South Coast and beyond as Blue Islands adds extra Guernsey – Southampton flights this summer
Blue Islands has further reaffirmed its commitment to its Guernsey – Southampton service as the locally-owned airline has boosted its schedule with even more flights this summer, delivering greater choice and convenience for travel to the South Coast, London and beyond.
Rob Veron, CEO Blue Islands said,
Blue Islands is focussed on enriching islanders’ travel options which we believe are essential to the wellbeing and livelihood of our communities. We are proud to have operated our Guernsey – Southampton service since 2007 serving over 800,000 passengers including leisure and business travellers, visitors to our island and sporting customers, as well as providing a reliable, high-frequency service for those travelling for essential medical purposes.
Blue Islands provides up to 64 weekly flights between Guernsey and Southampton with up to five flights each way per day having scheduled 78 additional flights throughout the summer between 29 June and 26 September on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Customers also enjoy the benefits of Blue Islands’ exclusive Southampton – Waterloo train fare of just £36 anytime return for effortless travel to central London via Southampton with regular fast trains to London Waterloo just metres from the terminal door.
Mr Veron added,
As well as travelling to the South Coast, customers are increasingly choosing Blue Islands operated Guernsey – Southampton services for easy protected connections to UK and European destinations across the wider Flybe network thanks to Southampton Airport’s single terminal and one booking at flybe.com.
“Additional Southampton flights not only provide greater options for travel to central London and opportunities for onward UK and European connections via Southampton Airport, they enable added convenience and flexibility for those travelling to Southampton to access health services.
