No. The biggest a/c ever to have visited Jersey; & there were two of them, were BAW L1011s back in 1978 & '80 (I think). They were operated to clear a backlog of pax caused by fog.
Apart from them, we have had BAL B767-200s, BCAL A310s, a sole RAF VC10, Aer Turas CL44, B757-200s of various companies incl. BAW, BAL, MON, BCAL, Odyssey, AHR, Ambassador, Air Europe, AMM, Air Belgium. Also, B727-100s of ATA, DAN, HLF, TAP & -200s of Sterling, DAN, HLF & Air Columbus. Plus DC9-80/MD80s of NEA, TWE, SAS, FIN, MPH, Air Liberte & SWR.
That's about it for the bigger stuff. I think 777s are a bit too large for Jersey, even 200s. Although we did have a UAL do a low flypast from Farnborough one year.
