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.”
Fly direct to the Alps for easy access to best ski resorts
NEW BLUE ISLANDS SKI FLIGHTS TO GRENOBLE
Jersey skiers will be able to fly direct to the French Alps this winter thanks to an expanding partnership between Blue Islands and Channel Islands tour operator Allez Ski.
The airline will operate weekly flights direct from Jersey to Grenoble in France, departing every Saturday from 21 December 2024 until 15 February 2025.
Rob Veron, CEO Blue Islands said, “We have been proudly partnering with Allez Ski to provide its charter flights from Jersey and Guernsey to the slopes since 2018. Whether it’s Christmas, New Year, February half-term, or prime skiing in January or early February, we’re excited to increase to a nine-week season of direct flights to Grenoble this winter and offer a flight-only option.”
Just two hours from Jersey, Grenoble is the gateway to the French Alps including the resorts of Val d’Isere, Tignes, La Plagne, Les Arcs, Courchevel, Meribel, Les Menuires, Val Thorens, Avoriaz and Morzine. The closest resorts are Chamrousse, Les 7 Laux and Alpe d’Huez.
“Blue Islands has operated many ad-hoc ski charter flights to Grenoble but the airport is especially looking forward to welcoming Jersey skiers on a weekly service from this coming winter season", says Pierre Marnotte, Grenoble Airport's director. “This means more islanders than ever will now be able to benefit from direct flights to our 'gateway to the Alps'.”
Rob added, “Depart Jersey and arrive in the Alps two hours later and enjoy easy access to some of the world’s best ski resorts.”
Flights can be booked here from today with fares, including luggage, starting at £299.99 return. Complete packages, including transfers and accommodation, can be booked at www.allezski.com
