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.”
INTER-ISLAND SERVICES INCREASE
Blue Islands is committed to providing the best possible connectivity for Jersey, both to Guernsey and across our UK network and are proud to have been able to offer lifeline services through the duration of the pandemic. We must however continue to balance the need and desire for connectivity with demand for travel and the financial sustainability of the services we offer.
This is a challenging balance to strike, especially throughout the pandemic when it has been extremely difficult to forecast demand and establish with any certainty when markets will return sufficiently to justify higher frequency services on the routes we operate. We do however continue to monitor this demand and will react to market demand where possible and are pleased to see that demand is returning.
Blue Islands currently operates four flights between the islands each day from Monday to Friday, and we are encouraged to see passenger volumes continue to grow as our customers reconnect with colleagues, clients and friends across the islands. Against this backdrop, we have added day return travel options from Jersey to Guernsey on Wednesdays from 6 October to 27 October inclusive.
We are also pleased to confirm that from Monday 1 November, Blue Islands will operate six flights per day between the islands from Monday to Friday, with convenient morning and evening timings in both directions as well as a middle of the day travel option.
