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.”
Enhanced connectivity for business communities
BLUE ISLANDS LAUNCHES DIRECT FLIGHTS TO THE ISLE OF MAN
Blue Islands is launching a new direct service to the Isle of Man from Jersey; the new route, which also connects from and to Guernsey, is specifically aimed at business travellers and starts from 23 April.
Rob Veron, CEO Blue Islands said, “We’re excited to enhance connectivity for our Channel Islands business communities; a true strategic benefit for our islands, enabling fast and efficient travel with a new scheduled service between Guernsey / Jersey and the Isle of Man. This follows extensive industry engagement and a trial last year designed to assess the route’s viability.
“There are many organisations operating across these jurisdictions, and current travel options are time-consuming, often with long-connections in the UK using multiple operators. Seats are available to book now enabling industry to plan meetings and appointments for the year ahead with the efficiency and convenience of direct flights.”
Commencing 23 April, the service direct from Jersey will operate Tuesdays and Thursdays on alternate weeks, and seamlessly connects from and to Guernsey as customers remain on the aircraft for the short stop in Jersey.
Jersey’s Minister for Sustainable Economic Development, Deputy Kirsten Morel, said, “The new Blue Islands route between Jersey and the Isle of Man is very welcome. Our jurisdictions are both leading centres for international financial services, so it’s great to see direct connectivity serving our business communities.”
