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 NEWCASTLE SERVICE TAKES OFF
Channel Islands airline Blue Islands has commenced its new Newcastle service this week, providing direct connectivity between Guernsey / Jersey and the North East with up to three direct flights a week throughout the summer.
To mark the inaugural flight, Newcastle Airport welcomed the Blue Islands aircraft and crew to celebrate the exciting new route before welcoming the passengers on board.
Rob Veron, CEO at Blue Islands said, “Direct connectivity is vital for our communities. Our new Newcastle service offers convenient access to the North East from Guernsey and Jersey, and complements our existing options via Southampton. We also look forward to welcoming more visitors to our beautiful islands, supporting inbound tourism in the Channel Islands.”
As well as providing year-round connectivity for the Channel Islands on its core network, Newcastle is one of two new Blue Islands routes for 2025, with the first Paris flights commencing on 22 May, complementing the airline’s established summer services to Dublin and Norwich.
To celebrate the start of the Newcastle service, there’s 10% off all seats, with fares from £82.99 one way, including hold luggage, when booked by Sunday 11 May.
