EZY
Wow!, are they going to have their own sales desk? I'm not sure it would work without it. At all their airports they have one.
I'm sure once they are in there the routes are going to expand and then a few airlines are probably going to pull out as the competition will be fierce.
Jersey seems to be getting it all the the moment jet2, easy jet , starbucks!!!! Whatever next??? Longhaul????

The Flybe summer schedule has now been released and there are a few developments.
Southend – additional Wednesday flight.
Bristol – Reduced from daily to 6x weekly (Dash will operate Southend instead).
Gatwick – Retains 6x weekday flights. 5x at weekend.
Newcastle – 4x weekly on Tu.Th.Sa.Su.
The 3rd based aircraft looks to be free on M.W.F., it operates to Newcastle on Tu./Th. between Gatwick flights. I suppose this is where Luton could have fitted in, but I don't know whether Flybe plan to utilise the free time now?
Doncaster and Aberdeen are still to be released. Other destinations are similar to previous years.

U2 to JER
Had a quick look at the Easyjet site; no sign of LTN schedules, but LPL are as follows:
Weekdays:
LPL-JER 1615-1730/ RETURN 1800-1915
Sat
LPL-JER 1005-1120/ RETURN c.1150*
Sun
LPL-JER 1435-1550/ RETURN c.1620*
(Didn't bother checking the return schedule; just assuming a 30 min turnaround as for the weekday flights, but they won't be more than 5-10 mins out).
Best wishes to U2 and here's to more orange on the apron here!

Brought Forward
Who can answer this one?
Easyjet are selling the Luton-Jersey-Luton service as of the 30th March 2008 in the media it stated the start date will be the 21st April confused?
Have Easyjet brought the start date forward by three weeks or is this an error in the computer booking system?
With easter being the 6th to the 9th of April this could be a possibilty they route has been brought forward?

Norwich-JER in January 08?
Hi all,
I'm very confused about FlyBe's timetable between NWI and JER for the beginning of 2008 - it seems to have changed!
Apparently they're running flights on Mon/Wed/Fri from 10/12/07-4/1/08, 17/3/08-28/3/08 and 30/3/08-24/10/08. So what happened to the bit between 7 Jan and 14 March??
Confusingly, I have a booking on a NWI-JER flight on 7/1/08 and JER-NWI on 9/1/08 which, according to the "My Flight" section of the site still exists. Yet if I try to do an online booking for those dates, it says that no flights are available (and as I've never seen those flights full, I don't believe that it's down to them being booked up).
Is it just a finger-trouble job on the part of the Web site people, or are the trips I've booked on Jan 7th and 9th now phantom flights?

I notice in tonight’s JEP that Flybe. has requested a license to operate between Jersey and Cardiff from March 1st...a new route to be announced then? Additional frequencies to Cardiff would be welcome for 2008 considering the loss of Thomsonfly and bmibaby reducing the route to twice weekly.
Also I see the application for Doncaster is effective from March 1st but it is not supposed to begin until May. The Aberdeen application is effective from May 1st so are there some changes proposed to the Doncaster flight?

Flybe to Cardiff
Where did this spring from Flybe wants to operate to Cardiff?
Would this meen they would pull off the Bristol, if so that could be another one for Easyjet to take on.
With Flybe haveing more movements into Cardiff than Bristol it could tie in.
We must wait and see what comes out of this.

With todays AF purchase of VLM:
1 - Will they still have their summer Saturday operation
2 - Does this create an opportunity for JER-CDG using the daystopping VLM aircraft. Would enable worldwide connecting opportunities and an alternative to crowded LHR and LGW where long haul city destinations are lacking
Any thoughts from JER locals or anyone with more knowledge/insight than me?

VG to be merged into WX
Some interesting comments were made by Cityjet CEO, Geoffrey O'Byrne-White, about the AF takeover of VLM. AF also owns VG and the Cityjet CEO is in charge of the integration of the two carriers, since AF also owns WX.
O'Byrne-White is in charge of the integration with VLM and said it offered a "great opportunity" for CityJet to expand. The two will operate as separate brands initially but CityJet is likely to subsume VLM over time, boosting its position as a regional player. (Quote from Irish Times)
I wonder what effect this is going to have on fleet planning; Cityjet has recently started taking delivery of RJ85s, but AF/KL have ordered Embraers; VLM's F50s will have to be replaced at some stage. There are some interesting challenges and opportunities for JER out of all this, not least of course, the prized JER-CDG.

What next
Akersoid
Could this be a possibility.
Cityjet replace the VLM London City-Jersey-London City with an RJ85 and operate London City-Jersey-Charles Du Gaulle-Jersey-London City?
Not a bad idea?

CWL with Flybe
BE has announced the launch of a 3w summer service to Cardiff, but note the comment in this extract from the BE statement:
Another brand new flybe route from jersey for summer 2008
10 January 2008
Low cost airline reinstates Jersey’s Welsh connection
"Flybe, Europe’s largest regional airline, has announced a further expansion of its summer service out of Jersey with a three times weekly route to Cardiff in a move that reflects its commitment to enhancing its Island service as well as re-instating the Island’s Welsh connection.
The new service operates Mondays and Fridays effective March 17 as well as on Saturdays between May 24 – September 27. Flights are available now for booking in time for travel over Easter with lead in fares from £29.99 one way including taxes and charges.
This latest announcement will provide even more choice for reliable, low-cost services from Jersey. The addition of this route follows hot on the heels of Flybe’s announcement of an enhanced summer route network from Jersey that now includes Edinburgh, Glasgow and Newcastle as well as Paris. "
Did I miss something? When did they announce Paris? When does it start etc?

I too noticed the reference to Paris in the press release. I think it is a slight error and should instead read an "enhanced summer route network from Cardiff" as these routes are to be operated from Cardiff for the summer season. The Cardiff route has been on sale for a while now so it is good to see it get some publicity at last.
Also looks like the Swiss International Zurich charter returns for the summer. Operating ZRH-NQY-JER-ZRH on Saturdays from May to September. Maston returns as well with a VLM charter.

I was wondering the other day about the history of the air services from JER and GCI to the airports on the French coast. If I have not missed a service, these are now down to Guernsey-Dinard on Aurigny and Jersey-Cherbourg-(Paris) on Twin Jet (is there any local travel on those Cherbourg flights?)
Dinard seems to be the only airport that has enjoyed some lasting success at least from GCI. I remember that Aurigny a while back also (or instead?) served St. Brieuc, and in the very early days of Aurigny there were flights to Granville as well (at least that is what I read somewhere). Other reasonably close by airports in France, although already at some distance for a Trislander, are Rennes, Lannion or Caen - have there been flights to those as well in the past? Have there ever been direct flight from ACI to France?
How in general are these shorts hops doing - are they more a tourist or used by local residents? I guess in times of fast ferries JER is a more difficult market than GCI for those flights locaionwise, while GCI simply lacks the population for decent demand?
