Blue Islands Trial Isle of Man Service

Blue Islands is trialling direct flights between Jersey and the Isle of Man, with connections to and from Guernsey, following engagement with the local business community.

Rob Veron, CEO, Blue Islands said, “We’re excited to trial direct flights to the Isle of Man. Through surveys and discussions with key businesses in each island we have some insights into the likely market requirement. The next stage in assessing the viability of such services is this 5-week trial.

“Blue Islands is committed to providing services that bring strategic benefit to the islands. We’re launching this trial with a number of cornerstone corporate partners, who have each taken an advance allocation of seats, enabling us to explore the longer-term viability of a year-round service. 

“We thank everyone that has provided feedback and to the organisations that have committed to purchase seats in advance; this is a unique collaboration that ensures the viability of the trial which we hope will enable a longer term scheduled service.”

Direct flights from Jersey to the Isle of Man will operate Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7 November until 7 December. It will also be possible to fly to and from Guernsey, staying onboard the same aircraft, with just a short stop in Jersey.
