Sadness as UK Airline Collapses with Flights Stopped From Newcastle Airport
Blue Islands ceased operations due to financial struggles dating back to the pandemic, affecting about 100 employees and cancelling all flights, the airline announced.
- Blue Islands announced an immediate suspension of operations, effective 14 November 2025, with its final flight landing in Jersey at 7.40pm that day, halting all services.
- After recent support talks, the airline said the government of Jersey `they are unable to provide further support`, prompting suspension.
- Blue Islands served island links and UK routes with five ATR-72s and about 100 staff, with an estimated 100 jobs lost after the shutdown.
- Passengers with bookings were advised to contact banks or travel agents for refunds, those on codeshare tickets to contact Aurigny, and the UK Civil Aviation Authority urged customers to consult its website.
- Industry figures warned the collapse highlights fragility in regional links and monopoly risk for Guernsey, while Loganair will offer new flights from Sunday and Elaine Millar said support is available for affected staff.
