Airline exploring direct route to Luxembourg

Friday 26 January 2024


Blue Islands is seeking feedback to “assess demand" for direct flights to Luxembourg.

The airline has said the service from the island to Luxembourg – also a finance centre – could operate bi-weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Blue Islands also recently trialled a direct service to the Isle of Man, which it says is “currently being evaluated”.

In a statement, the company said it was engaging with the Channel Islands' business community in particular “to understand any requirement for direct flights between Jersey and Luxembourg, with connections to and from Guernsey”.

A viable service?

Rob Veron, the chief executive of Blue Islands, added: “Thank you to our customers that supported our trial service to the Isle of Man, particularly those corporate partners that committed to the advance purchase of seats. We are now in the final stages of a post-trial engagement process with users to understand the longer-term viability of such a direct service.”

He continued: “We recognise there are also many organisations that operate across Jersey, Guernsey and Luxembourg.

"We’re now seeking to assess demand for direct flights to Luxembourg, and again, understand current behaviours and preferences to determine if a viable service for business travellers can be established, and indeed whether a service to Luxembourg may complement an Isle of Man service – hence our latest survey.”

HAVE YOUR SAY...

It is currently running a survey on its website, which will be open until 5 February.
