There is to be an announcement at the airport at around lunchtime tomorrow.
I can't begin to say how thrilled I am at this news. It's not only a huge economic boost to the island, but also a major psychological and morale boost. Jersey now plugs into one of the biggest range of intercontinental air links around the world and while we may have some misgivings about LHR as an airport, it's still a hugely important intercontinental hub and having access to it will greatly enhance Jersey's attractiveness as a business destination, tourism centre, not to mention facilitating the travel plans of Jersey residents.
Wonderful, wonderful news.
