BLUE ISLANDS

[Geo73]

Jersey is open skies.

Another, small, nail in BEE's coffin.

I mentioned on another thread about a year ago, EZY for JER-LGW, then BRS, MAN and EDI. Missed BFS though!

Advertising for cabin crew in GCI.
A second a/c to be based there?
Is it another 42 or a 72 maybe?
Guess we'll know soon enough on the thread.

[Ayline]

Probably another ATR42 to operate Guernsey-Southampton.

[propblade]

I would suggest an ATR72, 5 crew intake for 3 flights a day (SOU) seems over the top.
GCI-LCY on the cards?
If so a 72-500, not sure a 200 would cut it.

[Expressflight]

Recently there was some talk of GCI-SEN next summer but whether or not there is any substance to that I don't know.

[GAMPY]

It's a 72 for inter-island and JER SOU. GCI SOU is a dead loss for them so once the JS fleet goes the few GCI SOU passengers will go via JER. A 42 will open GCI LCY. Aurignyflot has got its own way as well I hear and have got a guaranteed monopoly on GCI LGW.

If a little late EZY starting BFS to JER in summer 14, flights on sale from this Wednesday

Oops sorry mac user I misinterupted your comment ....please ignore

[propblade]

72-500 or 72-200?

[Jerbourg]

I can't see GCI pax wanting to travel via JER to get to SOU, you looking at nearly an extra hour in travelling time. Flybe will rightly get all the GCI pax.

[hapzim]

GCI-LCY that is good competition for Aurigny unlike a head to head on LGW. It also give us the paying passengers a better choice of destinations and will keep the prices honest on other routes.

Shame there is not an ATR.. GCI-JER-AMS-GCI-JER early morning prior to 07:30 and late afternoon JER-GCI-AMS-JER-GCI landing about 20:30 for the business / leisure (code share) world to connect with KLM/AF long haul traffic. Better than LHR to transfer from. Would also give an early G-J and late J-G hop for local traffic.

Lets wait and see ...please

[akerosid]

Has SI entered into interline agreements either KL, LX or AF at AMS, ZRH or CDG, respectively?

Will they check bags through to final destinations to/from JER?

[macuser]

Jerbourg GCI-SOU via JER

Jerbourg - Agreed. There is something wrong about going South first to then go North, apart from the time taken.

[Saab2000 Freak]

ATR 72

Confirmed in an advert in todays press and on their website, ATR 72 to operate GCI-SOU 3 x daily direct departing at 07:15, 13:25 and 18:00 starting mid December. Taking FlyBE head on!

[kcockayne]

Someone is going to lose a lot of money !

[Jerbourg]

A previous MD of Blue liked to describe Blue Islands on the SOU route as "the itch that Flybe couldn't scratch." I think now with the introduction of an ATR72 Flybe will be getting the back scratcher ready for use.

[MKY661]

Blue Islands are to Aquire another ATR. Unsure when

[GAMPY]
