If EZY do start a daily LPL-JER I will be a regular and they'll be no excuse for my Friends to come and visit! But easyJet don't seem to want to expand at LPL these days, so who knows! And it probably will only be a few times afew if we are lucky!

From word on the apron floor as they say, the market for Jersey is the short stay which they are talking of a two or three night stay.
So two rotations a week could fit into this stile of short brakes.
As you well know have a few meals, a beer or two, a little bit of Sun and there iit s your three days have gone with a little drive around the Island for good measure.

Aer Lingus appear to have released an additional Wednesday flight from Dublin between 8th August and 5th September. It is available to book on-line at £149 one-way. 
It is only operating for a short period but a good sign for tourism nonetheless…and an extra A320 on the Island, of course

Question on oceanic routes
I just came across this North Atlantic chart and I was wondering what points transatlantic overflights would be heading towards as they pass overhead Jersey? Jersey isn't shown on the chart, but I can see the edge of the Brest FIR; I was guessing the next waypoints might be REGHI or TAKAS?
Just curious !

New routes and more flights
In a press release today Jersey will have a connection with Staterton Gloucester again, after a brake for a number of years Manx2.com will be starting a service routeing EGNS-EGBJ-EGJJ-EGBJ-EGNS starting from the 8th of September till the end of October on Saturday and Sundays with a lunch time departure from the Isle of Man and a mid afternoon departure from Jersey.
What will Blueislands make of this as today they did a press release say that on Tuesday and Thursday there will be two rotations to the Isle of Man.
Jersey has woken up again a bit late in the year to starta new route by Manx2 but it is another carrier and Staverton has been served by a number of carriers over the years so good to see some one going to try and make it work who knows what might happen for 2008.

Interesting to have Gloucester back, it was popular with tourists in the past, but a fairly odd announcement at this late stage. It would have been preferable if it had operated all summer rather than the thinner months at the end.
I’m not sure how much of a success the route will be, although I noticed on the Channel website it cited Jersey was Gloucester's most requested destination. Understandable with the Airport's long association with Jersey flights, but it will hopefully produce a small market for Manx2.
Flyglobespan also begin tomorrow from Durham Tees Valley. A new airline to welcome.

Dornier 328
Things have gone a little quite from the Islands.
With Blueislands signing a deal so we hear a month or so ago with Scotairways to lease one of the Dornier 328s so why did they do a deal has things changed and the routes they were going to operate on are on hold for the time being.
With the summer into full swing what summer it is half way through is it to late to try and start any route that relates to summer traffic but could they be looking at some of the Xmas Sking traffic or new year sking routes as Frybe are not doing any thing until the Feb half term could this be to late any way.

Flybe to Geneva
Jerbourg
Does it take that long to hear about new routes.
The Jersey - Geneva was annonced several weeks ago or does it take that long before the pidgeon arrives or syberspace makes contact?
This route might only be for the Skiing holidays that take part during Feb and Mar as over the half term in Feb there are normally a number of direct charters to the Skiing places.

flyglobespan 2008
Things are looking up for 2008
Flyglobespan has just released in the last 48 hours some of there 2008 flights and Jersey flights are twice a week from the 1st Jult to the 29 Sept.
Operating on Tuesday and Fridays instead of just one week on a Saturday.
Flyglobespan must be pleased with how the 2007 flights have been going to introduce a twice weekly for 2008 but this shows it is aimed at the short stay market of three or four night brake.
Well it is good news lets hope this is sign of recovery down in the Island and we will see what else will turn up before the 2008 season kicks off.

Good news even if it is still summer 2007 
I was disappointed to see the North East region somewhat underserved this summer so any service improvements are welcome.
There has been a considerable amount of success this year in bringing in new airlines, routes and frequencies with the early statistics looking encouraging. I’m hopeful that the authorities can build upon this success for next summer.
Aer Lingus also begin at the end of March for 2008, which is another good bit of news.

Easy into the Island?
Legs Up Lucy
Funny thing the LPL-JER showed up back on 7th June on the Liverpool Forum. Saying is Easy starting at some stage down to Jer, what does our man up there in LPL land make of this.
He should have his ear close to this one I would have thought?

Well, a few months ago, I'd have said no way! easyJet seemed dead against expanding from LPL. But this winter we already have Lisbon and Innsbruck starting, so who knows. And if it pops to Glasgow in the middle, could pop over for lunch!! I will be annoyed though, as I've already booked my flights home for Christmas with BA from MAN.
if it's going to happen from October, they'll have to put it on sale soon!

Yes but could you imagine how well the jer-stn-fnc connection will do with the easyjet fares!!i think it could see flybe off the lgw route for good,they are already panicking about there drop in pax numbers on this service as they are introducing the embraer195 earlier than planned to claw back customers!Comptetion is good for the island and keeps these companies on thier toes...
I'm afraid flybe have done themselves no favours over the years in the islands and their complacency may bite them on the a**e!
Easyjets marketing power will have a tremendous effect on the tourism industry and is another benefit of the welcome change at the top of the airport management stucture!

too right. the immigration policy is to keep hooligans out! we don't want cheap fares allowing even more of them in!!
and before anyone has a go at me, look in the local paper and you'll notice that most of those attending police court are from oop north.
