Channel Islands based airline, Blue Islands, launched a new service between Bristol and Jersey yesterday.
The twice-daily flight is operated by a 19-seat Jetstream aircraft, and departs from Bristol Airport at 9.40am from Monday to Friday, returning from Jersey at 4.20pm. A further flight is scheduled for Sunday afternoons at the same time as the second weekday service, which leaves Bristol for Jersey at 5.45pm.
The new route is expected to prove popular throughout the summer, with South West holidaymakers taking advantage of the short journey time to enjoy Jersey’s beaches and mild climate. To mark the inaugural flight, a summer beach scene was recreated at Bristol Airport, with deckchairs and parasols at check in and strawberries and cream served to passengers.
A convenient onward connection to Zurich is also available with Blue Islands via Jersey, offering the quickest journey time to the Swiss city from the South West.
Blue Islands’ ‘no hidden charges’ pricing policy includes free ticket changes and no additional charges for baggage or credit card payment.
