Paris Route and more (EMB195)
Any one heard what the outcome of the Flybe Paris service?
This route was going to be discussed today and an annoucement if Jersey was going to support Gurnsey to get the route up and running.
With the annoucement of Blueislands stopping the St Brieuc due to the French not allowing a small increase on fares making it not possible to operate so the Islands loose another link with the French.
The Paris route looks a stronger bet but needs a lot of local support to get it up and running.
The Islands have not had much success over a number of years trying to keep hold of european flights especially links with France.
With Flybe bringing in the EMB195 on the 28th at 1315 local time this aircraft could do a lot For Jersey if the local government helps to support new routes.
If and when Jersey receives the EMB195 as there Gatwick Jet service it could be a good aircraft to offer half term direct flight although at late departure times and early returns at alot less than then one at the moment as aircraft have to come from the U.k of some times in from France to opperate with dead legs on some of the sectors so the Island needs waking up and looking at the future and give as much support as possible.
