2nd Time it is
Yes second time Blue Island have pulled out of Bournemouth. Thought the loads hadnt been too bad considering time of day and frequency of the flight,
but like many have said am not sure Blue Island know who or what they are.

I would guess that the introduction of revised APD which will include the Jetstreams for the first time was always going to kill the BOH route.
Assuming SI are going to stay on the BRS route, I assume this is going onto the ATR in future?

JER-BRS is supposed to be an ATR from February:
140% more seats on Bristol service – Bristol Airport
However, a test booking for May still shows the aircraft as a Jetstream.

Merchantventurer - Another ATR42 is due to join the fleet next week, so this would seem correct.
Are the Trislanders still in "store" at EXT or have they been sold does anyone know? (If still at EXT SI could make a bit of free publicity by donating one to the IWM collection at Duxford I'm thinking)

This is not really news, but an observation.
The Cityjet charter flight, which has for many years operated from Rotterdam to the Channel Islands in the summer, will this year be replaced by the Blue Island service to Amsterdam. This is flown 3x a week, including a Saturday service. Passengers to Guernsey will transfer in Jersey.
It is an obvious move to ensure that the flight has tour operator backing (like Zurich). With the flights operating more frequently, it makes the option of short-breaks more appealing, which has been tried before with a mid-week service to Rotterdam.
In addition, Blue Islands will fly to Cambridge and Dundee as it did for the first time last year.
