The GCI-CWL application is not yet available to view on the States of Guernsey website. This would be operated by Blue Islands aircraft and crew (rather than Flybe); if a mere extention of the latter's CWL-JER then it would be the BE which would need to apply for the licence. Unlikely, therefore, that the service would form part of BE's CWL-JER service - although it might replace it. The publication of the application will clarify the nature of the intended service.

However, an earlier application made in April by Blue Islands to operate a 4x weekly seasonal GCI-LTN service is still available. I do not recall this being widely reported, and it seems not to have made it onto this forum. The licence itself does not appear to have been issued, although the list of licences currently in force on the website is not up-to-date. Worth noting that Flybe already holds such a licence (issued Jan 2014); albeit with the conditions that the service must operate year-round at given frequencies. Hitherto, it has yet to operate; this may be because the conditions are restrictive or (more likely) because the application was made prior to the GCI base closure.
