MEDIA STATEMENT: 14 NOVEMBER 2025
Blue Islands, the Jersey-based airline, has suspended operations with immediate effect and is considering its options.
All Blue Islands flights have been cancelled. Passengers expecting to fly should not go to the airport unless they have made alternative travel arrangements with another airline. For those with Blue Islands reservations:
“After 26 years of serving the Channel Islands, we deeply regret that Blue Islands has this evening suspended its operations,” said a spokesperson. “After very constructive dialogue with Government of Jersey in recent months, including what we understood to have been ongoing assessments of the future options, we were informed this afternoon that they are unable to provide further support. This has meant that we now need to suspend flying immediately whilst we consider the options available and how we can help our customers, staff and stakeholders.”
Blue Islands is seeking a Maintrol Technical Engineer to join its team based in Jersey.
Operating a fleet of ATR turboprop aircraft, Blue Islands plays a vital role in ensuring high frequency, regional connectivity to the Channel Islands – an essential part of the islands' economy and residents' social wellbeing.
Our purpose is to keep our communities connected - a vital role, ensuring the socio-economic wellbeing of our beautiful home islands.
The Maintrol Technical Engineer will be based in the Operations Control Centre and critical in maintaining the operational reliability and regulatory compliance of our fleet. Operating directly under the CAMO, you will be the technical focal point, ensuring real-time oversight of aircraft condition, co-ordinating with maintenance providers, and supporting data-driven decision-making to enhance aircraft and engineering performance.
With a solid understanding of aircraft systems (mechanical, avionics, structures) you will possess strong diagnostic and analytical skills and be an effective communicator with the ability to operate under pressure and collaborate across departments. You will be proactive, self-motivated, and commercially aware with a strong commitment to safety and regulatory compliance, with demonstrable project coordination and task prioritisation abilities.
Ideally you will have prior experience supporting CAMO or Maintenance Control operations within a commercial airline environment and supplier and stakeholder management experience within an engineering or airworthiness context.
