LGW is the obvious choice for EZY and I think it was only a matter of time before they began flying this route. If the route is launched, a lot will depend on frequency. But it has the potential to be a very big shake-up of the London market.
LPL going 2x on Saturdays in July/August as well.

09 ILS Jersey
Change of subject:- 09 ILS is OOS 'til end of October - rumour has it that it was shot at as there are shot holes in the aerial! Anybody know anything more? With 27 ILS falling over last week and no VOR we were well placed in the recent wx

Fingers crossed that LGW-JER will come through with U2. MAN would be great, too.
I see that BE is going to be using E-175s to LGW this Winter - a considerable cut in capacity vs. the 195.
Is the new LGW route (and NCL) expected to be in place by next Summer?

I couldn't see it being once a day, more likely 3-4. BE would survive, but BA probably not. I don't think they see JER-LGW in their plans anyway; bit by bit, I see BA winding down its LGW short haul operation, in favour of increased LCY.

U2 LGW-JER
I doubt there would be an EZY lgw-jer route. They tried LTN-JER and that didn;t last.
EZY from LGW-JER would bring no benefit as you cannot through check luggage even onto their onward flights. Even if they did they need 4 a day as there would be no point.
There could be Man-JER or even EDI-JER and maybe JER-NCE or Jer-BCN or AGP but LGW-JER nah!

It is disappointing to lose Hamburg, but the route is fairly marginal/niche and, despite being good for Jersey’s tourism industry, I expected it would be subject to change as Lufthansa reorganises its non-FRA/MUC flying. I travelled back from Hamburg with Lufthansa in July and it was about half full so no surprise really.
Interestingly, Munich seemed to have mostly connecting passengers, I expect carrying onwards to Vienna following the end of the Prima Reisen charter flights. Although there were even some US tourists connecting back to the States. Düsseldorf is still the strongest performing route and Lufthansa/Air Berlin return next year.
Other than that, these are the Globalis charters with Germania next summer:
24.04.-01.05.2013 Düsseldorf
01.05.-08.05.2013 Erfurt
08.05.-15.05.2013 Kassel
15.05.-22.05.2013 Paderborn
22.05.-29.05.2013 Bremen
29.05.-05.06.2013 Dortmund
05.06.-12.06.2013 Stuttgart
12.06.-19.06.2013 Friedrichshafen/Lübeck
19.06.-26.06.2013 Frankfurt
BA also drop the late evening flight to Gatwick on a Saturday for S13.
I don't think we are waiting for much more to be released; maybe just the Cork flights and some of the UK charters. Minor changes in some frequencies, i.e. Jet2 drop the Sunday Leeds/Bradford flight and Blackpool gone completely.

Dragging up an old thread, but someone's got to keep the latest news updates from Jersey going. Not that there's much.
Air Berlin will launch a weekly Saturday flight from Stuttgart (via Guernsey) between 4 May and 21 September. Flights are as follows:
Flight arrives into Jersey at 07.30 (Guernsey at 06.30) and departs back at 18.55. In between it will operate the Frankfurt and Hannover flights. Despite the early start, at least all those nice German hikers get an extra day to enjoy the cliff paths
Of course, it's good for any local thinking of going to buy their brand new Porsche too, I guess!

BA is offer a new "hand baggage only" fare, which will initially be trialled on five routes, of which LGW-JER is one. It's quite similar to the Flybe "Essentials" fare basis - a lower fare for flying without bags, rather than a simple surcharge (which probably amounts to the same thing, but it's all in the spin!)
In other news, five of the ex-BMI A319s will be moving to BA's LGW base, so no doubt we'll be seeing them in Jersey during the Summer.

Not an awful lot, it has to be said; traffic is down this year, and last year was already down on the previous year.
However, the imminent department of BE from the LGW route is likely to stir things up a bit; latest from Rumour Central is that - wait for it - GR is interested in taking up the lease on three (soon to be) ex-BE 195s, expected to come off lease this year. These would operate primarily ex-GCI to LGW, but possibly from JER too? A lot has to do with the fact that LGW is trying to price props out of LGW and has already succeeded in doing so with BE.
There's a lot of obstacles in the way, particularly E-195 performance ex-GCI, but if Trip and Azul can operate them from Rio's SDU, then it should be possible; perhapss some modifications may need to be made.
Of course, the big question is whether U2 would want to fly from JER to LGW and if they do, would they want to base an acft here overnight. Some rumours say yes, others - no. However, it would clearly be very important for the JER market. A BE operation would be most welcome, though presumably they would only operate two or three times a day, so it might still be a drop in capacity.

A disappointing bit of news - Blue Islands is dropping Manchester flights from 11 June. The aircraft will instead be used on inter-island flights.
Manchester is already served by Flybe and Liverpool by easyJet, but I would have thought there was enough demand to support Blue Islands too?
