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:
“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.”
Government announcements boost consumer confidence
Blue Islands flights are now on sale until March 2022 providing regional connectivity between the Channel Islands and the UK, and more choice for consumers to plan getaways for summer and beyond.
Rob Veron, CEO Blue Islands said: “The recent announcements by UK and local governments have provided a much-needed confidence boost to consumers who are craving a getaway. Our customers now have the choice to book great value flights across our network until March 2022.
"Whether it's reuniting with family and friends, making up for missed celebrations, or just an escape, we all need something to look forward to and we are ready to welcome our customers on board and make that happen.”
Blue Islands’ schedule is now available on a continuous 1-month basis with more flights for 2022 added daily and includes services to and from Guernsey, Jersey, Birmingham, Bristol, East Midlands, Exeter, Newquay and Southampton, with other schedules extended soon.
Rob added, “We know flexibility is important. That’s why, for peace of mind, we have extended our free Blue Plus upgrade offer for travel until 12 March 2022. This allows changes to be made up to three hours before departure, for whatever reason, without a change fee when booked by 28 March 2021.
