Overview
- Blue Islands said on 14 November it had suspended trading and cancelled all future flights, telling customers not to travel to airports and to seek refunds via card issuers or their booking channel.
- Loganair plans to begin services from 16 November on core routes including Jersey–Southampton, Jersey–Bristol, Jersey–Exeter and Guernsey–Southampton, with £80 one‑way rescue fares that require buying new tickets.
- Jersey’s Treasury Minister Elaine Millar said contingency plans are in place with priority for essential medical travel, and support is available for affected employees and passengers.
- A pandemic‑era £8.5m loan from the Government of Jersey, with about £7m still outstanding as of August, has been reported as a central strain on the airline’s finances.
- The regional carrier had five ATR‑72s and around 100 staff; the collapse follows Eastern Airways’ recent failure, while Aurigny‑booked customers are told to contact Aurigny and Skybus intends to operate Gatwick–Newquay using an alternative aircraft.
