Having experienced the difficulties of getting to Newcastle from Jersey myself, I agree that it would be beneficial to have improved links between the North East and Jersey. It is unfortunate that Durham Tees Valley is reduced to once weekly during the summer because the multiple weekly bmibaby flights were relatively successful.
It will be excellent to see the Embraer 195 in Jersey. I have viewed the aircraft in Exeter on numerous occasions but it will be exciting to see it at home on a busy summer Saturday.
For the first few Saturdays, however, an ERJ 145 will be used.
A few on-line timetables also suggest that the bmi A320 will be used on the weekday evening Heathrow flight. I don’t know if this is correct but I guess there is always the possibility.
Sadly, Wolters Reisen has dropped the Stuttgart flight for the summer although Munich is new (Augsburg Airways Q400).
