Channel Islands Air Search was one of the charities to benefit from free flights, with pilots and engineers able to travel as part of the voluntary organisation’s rapid response air search and rescue service.
Two charities working to support families – Brighter Futures in Jersey and Bright Beginnings in Guernsey – were able to stage collaborative events after inter-island travel laid on by Blue Islands.

The airline’s Chief Executive, Rob Veron, said: “Since initial launch in 2019, we’re proud to continually support the Channel Island community with flight funding.
“Whether it’s sport, art, enrichment or development, islanders have been able to pursue their individual and shared ambitions through this scheme and we look forward to supporting many more beneficiaries in 2024.”
Other individuals from Jersey supported during 2023 included:
- Golfer Adam Dalton travelling to play in a tournament in Dublin.
- British table tennis champion Hannah Silcock.
- Ryan Le Monnier, who travelled to Exeter to compete in a Riding for the Disabled regional dressage competition.
- Luke Holmes, who competed in the British Triathlon Super Series.
Mr Veron added: “We are excited to invite applications for our latest round of flight funding, selecting as many worthy beneficiaries as possible and sharing more achievements from supported charities, individuals and groups.”
