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.”
BLUE ISLANDS ASSESSING DEMAND FOR BUSINESS TRAVEL TO LUXEMBOURG
Blue Islands is engaging with the Channel Islands business community to understand any requirement for direct flights between Jersey and Luxembourg, with connections to and from Guernsey. The airline recently trialled a direct service to the Isle of Man the result of which, and feedback, are currently being evaluated.
Rob Veron, CEO Blue Islands said, “Thank you to our customers that supported our trial service to the Isle of Man, particularly those corporate partners that committed to the advance purchase of seats. We are now in the final stages of a post-trial engagement process with users to understand the longer-term viability of such a direct service.
The Luxembourg service could operate bi-weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Rob added, “We recognise there are also many organisations that operate across Jersey/Guernsey and Luxembourg. We’re now seeking to assess demand for direct flights to Luxembourg, and again, understand current behaviours and preferences to determine if a viable service for business travellers can be established, and indeed whether a service to Luxembourg may complement an Isle of Man service – hence our latest survey.”
