It is good news to see the addition of Paris CDG to the list of new destinations from Jersey. It is beneficial to have an additional air-link to a major hub for connections, business and, of course, tourism for which this new route opens up a relatively undeveloped market for incoming French tourists.
With Easyjet beginning tomorrow, the local authorities have once again shown themselves to be highly proactive in supporting Jersey’s vital air routes.
Looking at the Flybe schedule, I too wonder how the route will be accommodated because the additional Q400 routes to Bristol, Newcastle, and Cardiff etc fully utilise the based aircraft. The same is true for the new Saturday Nice service, which does not fit in with the current based aircraft. It will be interesting to see how it is resolved.
The Twinjet Cherbourg & Orly service, however, looks like it is being dropped as a result.
