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.”

KEEPING JERSEY & GUERNSEY CONNECTED

Connecting the Channel Islands

UP TO 6 INTER-ISLAND FLIGHTS A DAY

We’re delighted to be welcoming more and more customers on our services between Jersey and Guernsey to reconnect with colleagues, clients and friends across the islands.

Up to six flights per day, plus all inter-island flights get extra with our Blue Plus fare as standard.

Increased choice

With the choice of up to three inter-island flights each way every day, including midday services from Monday - Friday, you can pick a flight time that fits in with your business or leisure needs.

Flexible travel

We know meetings re-schedule and plans change, that's why your inter-island fare includes free changes for any reason up to three hours before departure via Manage My Booking (fare difference may apply).

On-the-day flexibility

Even the best plans can change. If your meeting finishes early we can move you to the next inter-island flight. Equally, if you're late we will move you to the next available flight - without charge.

What our inter-island customers say

"The Coop is a pan island retail business owned by it’s members and therefore its essential that we have regular access to both islands to be able to engage with our members, and to operate our stores. It’s great that the Blue Islands schedule allows day trips during the week with a regular timetable. Teams and Zoom meetings are great and have revolutionised the way we work, however nothing beats face-to-face interactions and a local provider who understands the islands connectivity is a key enabler for this."

DAVE CHALK, CHIEF TRANSFORMATION OFFICER, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY

"Performing a pan-island role for the Channel Islands, we really value the connections, both people and services, that make it possible. As a frequent traveller between Jersey and Guernsey, I appreciate the Blue Islands flight schedules that enable me to get over to the other island early in the morning, maximise my day meeting key stakeholders, and then return back home in time for dinner. The entire Blue Islands team understand our needs and clearly strive to make it work for us."

DOUGLAS MELVILLE, PRINCIPAL OMBUDSMAN & CHIEF EXECUTIVE, CHANNEL ISLANDS FINANCIAL OMBUDSMAN

"Great local airline that has been extremely helpful since the pandemic with being easy to deal with for making changes to flights."

KELLY GAUDION, FLYING FROM GUERNSEY TO JERSEY

"This was my first experience of Blue Islands so I can only say keep up your high standards."

MICHAEL GILMOUR, FLYING FROM JERSEY TO GUERNSEY

"As flying with a friend who needed special assistance all stops were pulled out to make it a comfortable and safe flying experience."

ALYSON HARRIS, FLYING FROM GUERNSEY TO JERSEY

"Really easy to book and amend online and customer service extremely friendly and helpful. Having to book numerous flights on a regular basis for colleagues Blue Islands has always been extremely helpful if changes need to be made at short notice."

SHEENA ANNAN, FLYING FROM GUERNSEY TO JERSEY

"While Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management swiftly adapted to the ‘Zoom era’ there is no substitute for engaging face to face with clients and colleagues. I was eagerly anticipating the reopening of Blue Islands inter-island flights and have visited Jersey most weeks since flights restarted at the end of June.

The ability to travel immediately demonstrated what has been missing over the past 18 months or so. The informal day-to-day interactions that people have in the workplace are so important. Whether it be conversations in the kitchen or waiting for the elevator, the ability to share information and ideas in person is incredibly powerful.

It reinforced that there is a deep rooted need in this human’s psyche to connect and engage with other humans."

ANDY FINCH, CEO CANACCORD GENUITY WEALTH MANAGEMENT

"I left the house, checked in, flew to Jersey and landed all within an hour!!"
