Jersey-based airline Blue Islands has suspended operations. All flights are cancelled and passengers have been told not to travel to the airport.
The airline issued a statement just before 10pm on Friday 14 November, saying: “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 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.”
A Blue Islands spokesperson said: “After 26 years of serving the Channel Islands, we deeply regret that Blue Islands has this evening suspended its operations.
“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.”
