From Travel Mole - have to hope this attempt works out better than the Flybe CDG route
Jersey is attempting to encourage new airlines to serve the island with a special pricing arrangement.
As part of a broader market development plan, Jersey Airport is reviewing its aeronautical pricing structure with a view to making air services more commercially attractive and sustainable, according to a statement.
The airport and the States of Jersey Economic Development Department are willing to enter into commercial partnerships to support the establishment of new air services.
Expressions of interest are being sought for seasonal or year-round scheduled air services between Jersey and the following European countries:
Belgium - Brussels
France - Nice, Marseilles, Bordeaux, Paris, Nantes
Germany - Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt
Netherlands - Amsterdam, Rotterdam
Poland - Warsaw & Environs
Portugal - Faro, Lisbon
Spain - Alicante and other coastal resorts
Sweden - Stockholm
Switzerland - Zurich, Geneva
The aim of the campaign is to stimulate interest from airlines in operating new routes into Jersey from the specified destinations, as well as new business development opportunities for the airport to maximise air transport links, without migrating traffic from existing routes.

Whether or not this is to be operated as a charter or a scheduled route seems unclear. But certainly Flybe will need to allocate an aircraft to the route in any event so I cannot see why they would not operate it as a schedule. Perhaps it simply has not appeared on their website as yet for summer 2007, as also seems to be the case for some other existing routes.

Deduced from the Flybe. timetable, it looks as if the aircraft allocated for Southend is coming down from Edinburgh and will operate at the exact same times as last year. I don't know whether it will be scheduled or charter, however, there are a number of flights not yet released for Jersey and so we'll probably have a better idea in the coming weeks.

Flybe!
It`s a shame Flybe have anything to do at all in Jersey. Today, eleven of us walked off the aircraft, after being messed around for over three hours and we weren`t the only ones. The company display nothing but arrogance and a VERY poor service to Channel Islanders.

Flybe and Airport Strike
On Monday the last Gatwick by Flybe was cancelled after the passengers had been waiting after check in to be told at 1930 that the flight is cancelled.
Bring on the EMB 195 A.S.A.P. to a least try and keep the Schedule running to time.
I understand due to tech problems and higher fares they are losing passengers to B.A. not good either.
On Wednesday the 22nd there will be a strike of the security personnel first thing.
All departures before 0900 will not operate to time the expected departeres for the 0700 flights are approx 0945.
The strike is over pay and conditions and not good for the airport but the security personnel are employed by a private company so more pay means uping the air fares?? not looking to good as the old saying user pays means joe public the travelling public

Well the strike has been called off now after a revised offer was accepted. Most flights will operate as normal although there is some disruption to the BA Gatwick and Flybe Southampton flights. At least this will not be common action coming up to the holiday season now that an offer has been agreed.
In other news, the German charter flight schedules have been released. No sign of the BA Connect charter to Frankfurt, which is a mystery. All flights will be operated by Lufthansa Regional. Interesting news is that they’ll be a new Q400 operator to the island since one of the German flights is being operated by LH partner, Augsburg Airlines.
I also believe that Blackpool will be operated on a Saturday this coming summer by Air Southwest replacing BA.

The Frankfurt "slots" are a mere slot application on the waiting-list, and as such, no slots have been cleared. The airline thus is in no position to release flights and, at this point, will not pursue the original plan.
The details are:
FRA RTA 1315 RTD 1400 TH 4215C/4216C 05MAY-08SEP _____6_ ER4

Qantas Boeing 707
A new type for Jersey?
A new airline for Jersey?
All being well on this comming Monday november the 27th Jersey will be seeing the Qantas 707 that has been at Southend on major overhaul to get it fitfor its flight to the Qantas museum in Australia.
The aircraft is scheduled to do a flight around Jersey with a practice approach and go-around.
Time are unknown at the moment but i would think the media will know of this and hopefully keep all the interested parties informed

Fares as low as £50 return (or less) all in for the daily flight between Luton and Jersey.
The mid morning departure from Luton is unlikely to have a major appeal to the business community, but with fares that low, who knows?
What it does mean, is more low cost flight choice for the residents of Jersey using Luton's vast onward connections.

BMI Bus to Heathrow
Heard today that BMI are one step closer to getting the Heathrow service back in operation.
How it would work I am not shaw at the moment but it would be with A319 on the route and night stopping.
So all does not seem dead at the moment if this information is correct it would have some effect on the Tompson Luton flight but I think they are looking at a differant passenger market.
With Flybe still not having there full programme for next summer out, it looks like an interesting time ahead to see what is in the melting pot, does this mean to many carries trying to bite the same cherry????

That would be terrific; so it would be just one a day? Hopefully, they'll move ahead with this. We really need this very badly; that bloody coach becomes more of a nightmare every day.
If they can get BMI locked in for one flight alone, hopefully in time they can be tempted to go for one more. Two a day would do the job just nicely and bmi has interline agreements with various other carriers out of LHR, so connections and interlining will become a lot easier.
Great news!

Obviously I’m hopeful that there is movement on the Heathrow link. The connection to a major hub particularly through a Star Alliance member would be invaluable, much more so than a Flybe. Paris flight. Although the potential to regain flights to Heathrow have always been downplayed because of slot constraints so I’m still a little uncertain.
Even without the prospect of a Heathrow route the capacity to London this summer will be large. There is likely to be 15/16 flights a day to London, which certainly gives a good choice to passengers but overall is it unsustainable?
By the way, the Flybe. Timetable for the summer has been released. The schedule is much the same as last summer with daily flights to Edinburgh and 5x weekly flights to Norwich. There are one or two reductions on the Saturday flights, which is quite understandable...looking forward to seeing what the Manchester schedules will be like.

No the aircraft did not arrive for a number of reasons the flight schedule was delayed due to tech problems.
The aircraft departed this morning form Southend on route to Dublin and then down to the Canaries.
There is a critical time element in this to meet up with the John Travolta 707 so the plans have changed a lot in the last two weeks very disappointing to a lot of people but that is aviation??,

Things must be happening in Jersey, with old routes being operated again ,heard today that the Jersey-Dinard will be back on the scene.
With possibilty of British Midland putting on th Heathrow link the Cardiff being operated again by Thompson, Flyglobespan 737 a once aweek summer from Durham Tees Valley, Thompson daily Luton, what else is going to appear before the Summer schedules kick in.
What the Island needs is more of the Continental conections but a least things are happening with routes, after all the Island is only fourty three square miles so they can only cater for so much.
