New route to London-Oxford just announced by Manx2, starts May 8th.

Jersey gets new air route to Oxford - Business News | businesslife.co

Nice set up at OXF, but calling it London is really stretching reality a bit.

It's an affluent catchment area in it's own right, surely.

I wish Manx the best of luck, I think that they might need it, but it is good to hear of new routes to regional airports.

Gumboil

Anyone know when BE will start using 175s to JER; a few months back, they had scheduled them for the MAN-JER route on Sat/Sun, but that route still seems to be on 175s; anything planned for the Summer?

For anybody interested, there appears to be a some new German charters operating weekly from the end of May to the beginning of June:

Düsseldorf 25 April
Paderborn 2 May
Friedrichshafen 9 May
Erfurt 16 May
Hannover 23 May
Stuttgart 30 May
Hamburg 6 June

All operated by Germania on behalf of a tour company called Globalis. I knew about the Erfurt flight, but to see the extra destinations is very encouraging. I'm assuming this is one of the reasons why Jersey Tourism is in need of German speaking guides!

This is, of course, in addition to the weekly LH/AB flights to Dusseldorf, Hamburg, Hannover, Frankfurt and Munich and the charter from Vienna.

Well I know 2 good German speakers in the Tower!

Fog
 

I see Jersey at a standstill for the third day running due to fog, is this a common occurence?

Just about once a year you get a three day clamp. BA used to send Tristars to clear up the mess in the old days. I even saw people camping down around a Spitfire in the Air UK hangar once when they ran out of space in the terminal.

Fog.
 

Why can Jersey airport not have cat 111?

Terrain around the airport isn't suitable, would confuse the **** out of the rad alt

think it may be improving- a BA and a BE are just boarding at LGW:)

BA 2772 is now airborne!

Don't worry, he'll be back soon.

Short window of opportunity.

As for Cat III, no chance on 09 as there is nowehere to put the lights and there is a reasonably major (for the island that is) road through the lights for 27. That would need to go, along with multiple houses and businesses. The cost for the relatively few occasions it would be used is probably not feasable.

Looks like WW 5247 and the BA are holding over JER:(

Looks like the WW is off to BOH just passed Milford on sea at 3500ft

BA 2772 retd to LGW-the Ezy from Liverpool LANDED-it held a bit longer, and the BE from LGW has recently landed!

I was supposed to fly out on the 17.50 BA last night to Gatwick, but expected that I wouldn't get away on Thursday evening so booked the ferry instead. Didn't make for the easiest journey up to York from Poole. I'm due to fly home on Monday but I read that fog is supposed to be around into next week. Better book the return ferry soon :uhoh:

EZY out of NCL

easyJet seem to be making steady progress into Jersey.

JER-LGW from EZY coming.....

And not a moment too soon.

EZY
 

And then BRS, MAN and EDI?

It would be good to see ezy from LGW, but with flybe and BA already serving this route will it happen? And if so would ezy target mainly daytime slots or also go for early/evening flts for business to?
