Hi folks,
I flew JER-LCY last night.
Could someone please tell me the routing of the Bluebird Cargo 73F that I saw parked @ JER?
Cheers!

Bluebird 737 and Flybe
The Bluebird B737 is a day stop and operates a UPS contrat Monday to Friday.
It arrives from Rennes in France at 0700 every weekday and departs 1930ish
before and after Rennes it comes in from Germany which might be Cologne but no certain on that one.
In the local paper for Monday an article on Flybe stated they will reserrect the Charles Du Gaulle service in competition with the Blueislands Beauvais service? this could be due to Blueislands operating a service in competition on the Guernsey Southampton all be it a differant type of market meaning the bussiness type.
What next for Flybe they drop routes for a number of years and then want them back like the Luton and now the Paris.
Good news for the Island though, but will it attract more visitors? if so there is not many Hotels to put all these passengers on these new routes if they were all full. Interesting times ahead?

i find it hard to believe that flybe would launch a new route purely to spite another operator. Its a bit too expensive and risky for a real airline to do such a thing.
let's hope that flybe start using the 195 to do more charters and weekend sun trips. bit more suited to it than the 146 was.

The future's bright; the future's orange ...
Confirmed today; Easyjet will operate to LPL from late March and to LTN on the 21st April, both daily. 
Hopefully, this will grow over time, to add other routes, such as BRS (for Goldilocks!), STN, NCL, possibly even LGW; however, thankful for what we have to start with. Great news and hopefully more yet to come before the season starts!

The Easyjet routes are fantastic news. Jersey Airport and Economic Development have delivered one of the biggest announcements for years, which is terrific for the Island’s tourism industry and locals. The improved accessibility to Jersey from Luton and Liverpool provides the opportunity for tremendous growth, which is massively enhanced by Easyjet’s operation.
The summer schedules should be out soon. Hopefully there will be more good news to celebrate.

If only everyone was as negative as that we would have no chance of developing the tourism/aviation industry on the island and we'd be left with no hope!i'm personally pleased to see the route growth in jersey,it shows a pro-active attitude and a change of will to at least attract growth again in the islands,so what if certain airlines get subsidies ,its been happening all over the continent for years now and its the airports perogative to attract business that was not forthcoming,incentives to airlines has attracted much growth,just look at all those dead dodo airports in france!!finally we are dragging ourselves into the 21st century,which will only benefit the communtiy and island .............

People do not have to go to Jersey for their main summer holiday. Jersey is a good destinations for short/weekend breaks and for people visiting friends and family in either direction. Also, some people do not want to travel 3 to 4 hours for a holiday and a 1 hour flight to Jersey may be attractive. People's choice is not always down to price.

I think it's great news for JER and good on JG and those involved in reeling U2 in. There is considerable potential to grow; U2 has over 100 A319s on order (and another 88 on option), so let's be positive about the potential that exists; in due course, perhaps, U2 might even be tempted to consider basing 2 or 3 acft here, but that - if it ever becomes possible - is well down the road. JER has its foot in the U2 door and hopefully it will be a big success.
Incidentally, the U2 deal is for five years, so they won't be backing out that quickly!

Not everyone wants to go to Jersey for holidays. There are a lot of Beans (ex Jersey residents) who live and work in the North West. I will be a regular easyJet LPL-JER customer along with my Family and Friends (That includes you Mrs Briggs!!) coming the other direction. There was a lot of positive response at work to the route with People wanting to take family breaks there next Summer!

Oh do wake up Rex,jersey is an upcoming short break/spa hotel destination,the world is changing,funnily enough,not everyone wants to sit on a beach in the middle east waiting for the next allah call,or putting up with german tourists in canaries nicking your towels!! some people want quick access,comfort,quality and relaxing breaks too, jersey can offer this!!its called adapting to new markets....
The subsidy issue is a new concept for the channel islands,i say again for all not hearing this has been going on in the continent for over 5years,fearmongering isn't going to change the fact that jersey has to move with the times and tout for business it is the way forward if you want the benefits of the marketing power of easyjet/radisson sas etc etc. these companies marketing power are huge and this is what will get people talking Jersey....

"BMI were rumoured to have been given 3.5 mil every year (for 3 years) to fly to LHR twice a day. That is £5000 per return trip. Now I cant imagine that BA or FlyBe are getting anything like that to fly to LGW, in fact I would be surprised if they got any subsidy at all."
Given the fact that the Airport is in the middle of a supposed cost cutting exercise then it is highly unlikely that the States are giving subsidies like this. As previously suggested they are most likely giving reduced rate landing fees and assistance with advertising, anything else would leave them open to legal action and be against competition regulations.
As for the load factors on the gatwick route, don't be surprised if there are a few significant changes on that front, remember that BA now have a 15% stake in Flybe and are still looking at consolidation of bases and routes.........

Oa32 Wrong.
The BA stake in Flybe ia for sale as soon as the eventual flotation on the stock market takes place. This was announced at the time of the BA Connect sale
The States have already admitted they are subsidising BMI in cash and will not divulge the figure.
