Palmair operated regular Jersey services using their 146-300’s.
It's possible if they find they have some 'downtime' for an aircraft to pop over for a quick there and back...
Jet2 do fly seasonal JER's from EMA, NCL, LBA and possibly LPL? (But EZY already are on the LPL-JER route)
Palmair did the JER day trip flights to get the 146 there for a Palma W flight.
With Jet2 and TUI both now going head to head at BOH next summer with 4 or 5 based 737-800's there selling package holidays (plus Ryanair strongly increasing their schedules/routes and it's based aircraft) leaps BOH into a league of the likes it has never seen before.
BOH in summer 2025 will be 'Holiday Airport Central', and that's what they do.
So to add in a weekend JERSEY bumper then that's a pretty good idea but only if they have the aircraft to do that....Jet2 would not want a stranded 737 there if the dreaded summer fog comes in.
