Could there be more?
What will the next surprise be from Jersey Airport.
Over the last three weeks we have had three new route stories.
Globespan Aberdeen-Jersey Summer 2008,
Jet 2 Leeds-Jersey Summer 2008,
Today Blueislands to Switzerland starting this November with a Dornier 328,
We must also remember that Flybe although not new routes annonced more flights to Newcastle,Gatwick and Southampton.
What more can Jersey ask for other than some quick build hotels to put all these passengers?

Aberdeen to Jersey
airhumberside
Where did you get that idea from, the service by Globespan Aberdeen-Jersey beening axed?
You might not be able at the moment to book as the flight is having to be rescheduled to depart Aberdeen at approx 0630.
The reason for the reschedule is the aircraft was operating Aberdeen to Paphos and return before going to Jersey and it was arriving in Jersey at airport close and departing 40 minutes after that hence the schedule change.
Unless some thing has happened the Jersey flight will be the first one for that aircraft before going on a long journey to Cyrpus so untill the schedule is confirmed this could well be the reason for the bookings to be on hold.

The Thomsonfly timetable shows that Cardiff has been dropped for the winter. Originally it had been scheduled to operate three times weekly but it has now been removed. It is not surprising given the level of competition there would have been with bmibaby during the low season.

Does anybody now the rough average pax figures for bmibaby flights?
Thomson offer good prices to JER, and the x4 wkly CWL-JER have been popular. Shame TOM are not doing any flights at all.

JER (like NQY) will get a seasonal scheduled Lufthansa service in summer 2008 (runs 28JUN08-30AUG08). Saturday flight from DUS on a Contactair ATR72
LH4938/4939 DUS 1050 - 1205 JER 1235 - 1545
Return fares I have checked so far approx 150 GBP all inl. return.
Not sure if it will have an impact on the traditional DUS charter flight by Wolters.

Duxford Autumn Air Show
I've heard on the grape vine that the someone at the airport is organising a trip to the Duxford Autumn Air Show on 14th October. 
From the ads i've seen around the airport it includes flights from and to Jersey, breakfast onboard, a Jersey Airport “Goodie Bag”, and entry into the air show and museums all for just £170 pp
Not bad, anyone going...

More in to Europe?
The latest on Blueislands operations out of Jersey i understand there will be a Dornier 328 based in the Channel islands to operate the Swiss routes but they must be thinking of doing more with the aircraft as the flight is a lunch time out of Jersey.
Will the aircraft be based in Jersey and are there some more surprises installed for jersey for some more route that Blueislands are looking at takeing on as it looks like the Aurigny operation out of Jersey is very poor the only flights are to Guernsey.
Witht the winter comming I would not expect much more to happen umtill the beginning of 2008 but we would expect to start hear some things which might be in the pipe line like takeing on the Stansted for one or even another route into Europe say Amsterdam could be something that might be worth looking at on a three times a week type operation or even into Beligum as many year ago there was a large number of Belgium day trippers so could this be another area. With the Jetstream being a bit small to take on some of these routes but the Dornier coulld be the ideal aircraft for getting Jersey back into the frame with operations into Europe.

Thomsonfly are pulling their LTN-JER service, as it is not part of their IT programme. Other non Thomson Holidays/ First Choice Holiday flights are also being dropped. Is this the end for Jersey?

LTN FLTs to finish
KING PONG
I do not know where you get the idea of the Luton flights stopping, all because they are cuting back to three flights a week for the winter of 2007/2008 this is what you would expect.
The market to the Island is for short brakes which by giveing only three flights a week is the correct way of keeping the operation going through the winter, unless there is some thing else in the pipe line, this is the sort of cut back expected for the winter operations to the Islands as with other airlines operating to Jersey..

LTN-JER does finish from the end of October but does start up again by the end of March next year. There must not be enough demand to continue the route over the winter period where they will be able to use the aicraft on more popular winter seasonal routes to places such as Geneva and Salzburg instead throughout the winter season from its Doncaster base.
GBALU53 - The Blue Islands 328 will be based in Guernsey & route like this (roughly) Mon-Fri
GCI-JER-IOM-JER-GVA or ZRH-JER-GCI
ZRH & GVA operate on alternate days, Sun thru to Fri.
