After a deal was agreed that could pave the way for Flybe to restart operations, Routes looks at what became of the carrier’s UK network since its failure.
Whilst its aircraft may be repainted in Flybe livery, Blue Islands will still remain an independent locally Channel Islands-owned air operator continuing to fly all its own aircraft under the Blue Islands AOC (Air Operator’s Certificate).
Currently Blue Islands operate alternate day direct flights from Jersey to Amsterdam and Paris and twice weekly services to Zurich, which customers, especially the high yield business travellers that help support regional air links, find inconvenient.
