Islanders will be able to fly to seven destinations with Blue Islands from March next year.
Guernsey, Southampton, Bristol, Exeter, Newquay, Birmingham and the East Midlands all feature on the airline's summer 2021 schedule.
In addition to Channel Islands services, the airline is also operating flights in the UK including Exeter to Manchester, Southampton to Manchester, and Southampton to Dublin services.

The airline has also introduced two new fare types: Blue Fly (10kg cabin baggage plus handbag or laptop bag, 23kg hold luggage) and Blue Plus (10kg cabin baggage plus handbag or laptop bag and two items of 23kg hold luggage, plus a selected seat and missed flight protection).
Rob Veron, Blue Islands CEO said, “Blue Islands’ summer 2021 schedule sees high frequency services across its network including Jersey – Exeter flights together with double daily Jersey - Bristol and up to four flights per day to Southampton to facilitate same-day return options.
"From Guernsey, the airline will operate inter-island services to Jersey, direct services to Southampton and offer connections via Jersey to other destinations on the Blue Islands network including Bristol and Birmingham. 2021 will also see the return of Blue Islands’ summer Newquay service."

Ports of Jersey CEO Matt Thomas added: “We are delighted to see the expansion of the Blue Islands network at Jersey Airport, providing essential regional connectivity to the UK.”
The release of the summer 2021 schedule comes after Blue Islands received a £10m loan from Jersey's Government.
Alongside the loan, which will be repaid over six years, the airline agreed to a 'base carrier deal' with Ports of Jersey, which has seen it move its base to Jersey.
Part of that agreement also involved looking at establishing direct links to Europe, though no destinations in mainland Europe feature on the newly-released schedule.
