Guernsey passengers will be able to fly in a single aircraft to and from the Isle Of Man this November and December, with a brief stop in Jersey each way.

Blue Islands is trialling direct flights between Jersey and the Isle of Man, with connections to and from Guernsey.

The 5-week trial will operate Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7 November until 7 December - and could become permanent in 2024.

The tickets start at £261.99 one way.

Blue Islands CEO Rob Veron says this service will benefit the island's businesses:

“We’re excited to trial direct flights to the Isle of Man.

Engagement with our corporate travellers is a vital component of being able to provide the connectivity for businesses that have requirements across Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man.

The commitment already pledged from industry combined with envisaged further support from businesses during the trial will be key to being able to determine the long-term viability of a direct scheduled service.

If the trial is successful a full scheduled service could be launched early in 2024.”
