BLUE ISLANDS EXPLORING INTEREST IN ISLE OF MAN SERVICE

Blue Islands’ latest engagement with the local business communities is to assess demand for a direct service to the Isle of Man from Jersey.

Travel to the Isle of Man currently requires multiple flights, connecting over UK airports such as Birmingham. This survey will help the airline evaluate the current demand and viability of a direct service.

Tom Barrasin, Chief Commercial Officer, Blue Islands said, “There are many businesses that operate across Jersey and the Isle of Man. The survey is designed primarily to better understand the corporate travel requirements, by gathering data regarding current behaviours and propensity to travel, to determine if a viable, sustainable route could be re-established.”

Tom added, “Blue Islands continually evaluates opportunities for new route development to better connect the Channel Islands, such as our direct services to Rennes, Dublin and Norwich established this year. Engagement with our corporate and business travellers is a vital component of our meeting the island’s connectivity requirements.”

The survey will be open until 18 November 2022.
