Government could act if airline delays continue

The Jersey government says it could take action against a regional airline if its services do not improve.

Passengers in Jersey have faced cancelled or delayed Blue Islands flights – with one aircraft having to return back to Birmingham on Sunday due to an engine failure.

The company also announced a cut to 28 of its flights in the summer schedule due to one aircraft being damaged and another new addition to its fleet being delayed. Ministers said they had contacted Blue Islands with their concerns – especially about flights for medical patients.

Blue Islands has been contacted for comment.
