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.”
Supporting opportunities for Islanders
Blue Islands funds flights
Blue Islands is offering travel support for Channel Island charities, groups and individuals who may apply for funding for travel off island.
Rob Veron, CEO Blue Islands said, “This initiative was created to support our home island community. Whether it’s sport, art, enrichment or development, we wish to play our part in enabling Islanders to pursue their individual and shared ambitions – we’re welcoming applications from charities, groups and individuals where this support will better enable such opportunities to be enjoyed.”
Blue Islands anticipates a great level of interest in this latest round of funding and looks forward to supporting as many worthy beneficiaries as possible.
Rob added, “In previous years we’ve assisted Islanders including Guernsey surfer Tom Hook, Jersey Jets netball star Lily Jones, Team GB Archer Lucy O’Sullivan as well as the Youth Commission for Guernsey & Alderney. We’re looking forward to supporting many more with their travel over the coming year and sharing in their stories.”
Lucy O’Sullivan, Team GB Archer said, “Blue Islands’ support enabled me to compete in the 2019 Archery National Tour and progress through the competition that year, it’s a wonderful initiative that enables Islanders to pursue opportunities that may not be possible without the support of off-island travel.”
The closing date for this round of applications is Wednesday 31 August 2022.
