“Airline to introduce flights to Exeter, East Midlands, and Norwich starting 2025.”

Channel Islands-based airline Blue Islands has announced plans to introduce three new routes from Guernsey starting in 2025, aiming to enhance year-round connectivity. Beginning in March, flights will operate to Exeter and the East Midlands, with a route to Norwich launching in May.

Ronnie Matheson, a representative for the airline, highlighted the significance of these routes for travellers with diverse purposes, including leisure, business, university commutes, and family visits. The Exeter service will operate six times a week throughout the year, while the East Midlands route will run three times weekly, with additional flights in spring and autumn. The Norwich service will operate seasonally, with flights scheduled twice weekly from May to September.

To accommodate the increased demand, Blue Islands plans to hire additional aircrew in Guernsey before the summer of 2025. The airline already serves routes between Guernsey, Jersey, and Southampton.

Meanwhile, Aurigny, another Guernsey-based airline, has announced the return of its Exeter route, which had been suspended since June. Aurigny will resume flights in the summer, with operations on Mondays, Fridays, and Sundays.
