Blue Islands to Launch ‘Executive Service’ to Jersey from London City

A new link between London City Airport and Jersey will be established by regional carrier Blue Islands Airline this summer. The Channel Islands-based operator will launch an eleven-times weekly service on the route from 18APR11 with two flights every weekday and a single Sunday evening rotation. It has specially acquired an ATR 42-500, configured with 48-seat for the service.

The flight will provide a ‘club class’ style travelling experience with a standard fare of £85 one way, inclusive of taxes, with all passengers enjoying complimentary refreshments onboard and use of a dedicated executive lounge at Jersey Airport. Blue Islands also offers a unique ‘no hidden charges’ pricing policy, which includes free changes to all tickets, with no charges for baggage or debit and credit card usage.

Derek Coates, Chairman, Blue Islands says the new route will allow passengers to avoid what London City describes as “all the hassle and long check-in times of Gatwick. “London City is a dream airport - with a check in time of only 20 minutes, this new service means that business traveller, whose time is valuable, can make the most of a day trip to Jersey. It’s also great for colleagues in Jersey who want a full day in London and for every executive who appreciates that time is money!” he said.

Jersey is known for its picturesque old-world charm mixed with buzzing nightlife, elegant seafood dining in its capital St Helier and tax free shopping. It remains an excellent all year round destination for both leisure and business travellers.
