Airline boosts Channel Islands capacity

Flight capacity is being raised on inter-island services between Jersey and Gurnsey this autumn.

Local carrier Blue Islands said it was responding to demand by adding 1,300 seats in November.

Additional morning and evening flights have been added to the current schedule of six flights a day.

Chief executive Rob Veron said: “We’re all now enjoying the value of face-to-face meetings once again, as such we have seen demand for inter-island travel steadily returning. We currently operate up to six flights per day. 

“It’s great to also be welcoming local sporting teams onboard again too, as important inter-island fixtures return – we’ve added several additional services for recent group fixtures. 

“Increasing the frequency of inter-island flights during November enables us to build back better, sustainably.”

He added: “Blue Islands is here to provide year-round sustainable air connectivity to and from the Channel Islands, keeping Jersey and Guernsey connected is a vital part of this role.”
