Blue Islands airlines suspends trading
Blue Islands has suspended trading effective on 14 November 2025. All future flights operated by Blue Islands have been cancelled.
A statment released to the media on 14th November:
"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
Loganair issued the following statement:
Starting Sunday 16th Nov. We will lead to establishing a new permanent operating base in Jersey. To assist affected Blue Islands customers in reaching their destinations with minimal disruption.
Loganair quickly moved to support the stranded passnegers by offering rescue fares and launching routes from Jersey to Guernsey, Southampton, Exeter & Bristol.
CEO Luke Farajallah said:
Three sets of crews had flown over to cover the routes and that the company would be holding recruitment days in St Helier.
He added the airline wanted to ramp up to full scedule by March following the initial rescue flights.
He said: "We very much hope that people who were employed by Blue Islands, if there is a job to map across to Loganair, can come and work for Loganair - we're going to need them.
"We don't like to see other airlines going out of business, but if I look purely at this as a commercial picture, Loganair in the Channel Islands is a good fit."
