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.”

flights to Birmingham and Exeter restart from jersey
Blue Islands flights from Jersey to Birmingham restarted yesterday, with Exeter services resuming today, 1 September. The Blue Islands flights to Birmingham and Exeter will connect with inter-island services from Guernsey once regular flights between the islands resume.
Rob Veron, Blue Islands CEO said, “We are very pleased to reinstate two very popular routes, providing key regional connectivity to and from Jersey. Birmingham services will initially operate four days a week and Exeter three days a week. And for next summer, both will become daily services and are available to book now.”
Rob added, “We are also very happy to be working with Visit Jersey to promote late summer/autumn breaks to Jersey in the UK for these routes as well as our other services from Southampton, Bristol and East Midlands. Creating healthy two-way passenger flows is clearly a mutual benefit and is something we will continue to do.”
Flying with Blue Islands is designed to be as easy as possible. Our base fare, Blue Fly, includes one 23kg luggage allowance as standard. Choose the Blue Plus fare for inclusive 2 x 23kg luggage allowance, complimentary seat allocation, double frequent flyer points and flexibility.
