Blue Islands
 
Another, small, nail in BEE's coffin.

I mentioned on another thread about a year ago, EZY for JER-LGW, then BRS, MAN and EDI. Missed BFS though!

Advertising for cabin crew in GCI.
A second a/c to be based there?
Is it another 42 or a 72 maybe?
Guess we'll know soon enough on the thread.

Ayline 8th Oct 2013 21:32

Probably another ATR42 to operate Guernsey-Southampton.

propblade 8th Oct 2013 21:44

I would suggest an ATR72, 5 crew intake for 3 flights a day (SOU) seems over the top.
GCI-LCY on the cards?
If so a 72-500, not sure a 200 would cut it.

Recently there was some talk of GCI-SEN next summer but whether or not there is any substance to that I don't know.

GAMPY 21st Oct 2013 17:32

It's a 72 for inter-island and JER SOU. GCI SOU is a dead loss for them so once the JS fleet goes the few GCI SOU passengers will go via JER. A 42 will open GCI LCY. Aurignyflot has got its own way as well I hear and have got a guaranteed monopoly on GCI LGW.

If a little late EZY starting BFS to JER in summer 14, flights on sale from this Wednesday

Oops sorry mac user I misinterupted your comment ....please ignore

propblade 22nd Oct 2013 00:28

72-500 or 72-200?

Jerbourg 22nd Oct 2013 16:01

I can't see GCI pax wanting to travel via JER to get to SOU, you looking at nearly an extra hour in travelling time. Flybe will rightly get all the GCI pax.

hapzim 23rd Oct 2013 14:03

GCI-LCY that is good competition for Aurigny unlike a head to head on LGW. It also give us the paying passengers a better choice of destinations and will keep the prices honest on other routes.

Shame there is not an ATR.. GCI-JER-AMS-GCI-JER early morning prior to 07:30 and late afternoon JER-GCI-AMS-JER-GCI landing about 20:30 for the business / leisure (code share) world to connect with KLM/AF long haul traffic. Better than LHR to transfer from. Would also give an early G-J and late J-G hop for local traffic.

Lets wait and see ...please :hmm:

akerosid 23rd Oct 2013 18:46

Has SI entered into interline agreements either KL, LX or AF at AMS, ZRH or CDG, respectively?

Will they check bags through to final destinations to/from JER?

macuser 23rd Oct 2013 23:30

Jerbourg GCI-SOU via JER
 
Jerbourg - Agreed. There is something wrong about going South first to then go North, apart from the time taken.

ATR 72
 
Confirmed in an advert in todays press and on their website, ATR 72 to operate GCI-SOU 3 x daily direct departing at 07:15, 13:25 and 18:00 starting mid December. Taking FlyBE head on!

kcockayne 28th Oct 2013 15:54

Someone is going to lose a lot of money !

Jerbourg 28th Oct 2013 17:26



A previous MD of Blue liked to describe Blue Islands on the SOU route as "the itch that Flybe couldn't scratch." I think now with the introduction of an ATR72 Flybe will be getting the back scratcher ready for use.

MKY661 28th Oct 2013 18:40

Blue Islands are to Aquire another ATR. Unsure when :)

GAMPY 28th Oct 2013 18:44
