Blue Islands’ increased schedule is supported by European tour operators as well as local hospitality partners as it is anticipated the additional flights will support up to 33,000 bed nights on the islands.
Flights from Austria will depart from Vienna, while Swiss travellers will be able to fly from Bern, Dutch passengers will benefit from multiple weekly departures from Groningen and Rotterdam and in Germany Blue Islands operates from Hannover and Bremen.
Commenting on his enthusiasm for the expanded operations, Rob Veron, CEO of Blue Islands, said: “We have been operating series charter to the islands for over 15 years and are proud of the role we play in supporting the inbound visitor economy – an important sector of our islands’ wider economies.”
He added his appreciation at being able to work with tour operator partners to deliver inbound European charter programmes, “enabling visitors from Austria, the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland to discover the unique charm and beauty of Jersey and Guernsey this summer.”
