Blue Islands codeshare with Loganair goes live

A clutch of codeshare flights offered by Channel Islands carrier Blue Islands and Loganair have gone live.

The initial connecting destinations offered from October 26 include services from Exeter, Southampton, Jersey and Guernsey to destinations on the Loganair network.

Aberdeen and Inverness via Manchester are available from Exeter and Southampton.

Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle and Manchester via Southampton will be accessed from Jersey and Guernsey.

The codeshare enables travellers to book connecting flights with a single transaction with hold luggage checked through to the final destination.

Passengers flying to or from Guernsey or Jersey will also benefit from Air Passenger Duty savings.

Blue Islands chief executive Rob Veron said: “Our initial set of connections enable easy travel to a number of very popular destinations in Scotland and the north for our customers in Guernsey, Jersey, Exeter and Southampton.

“We expect the network to develop even further very soon, with a wider choice of destinations for next summer.”

Loganair chief executive Jonathan Hinkles described the previously announced codeshare partnership with Blue Islands as “welcome news for customers looking to travel to the north from the Channel Isles and by those in Scotland looking to explore all that Jersey and Guernsey have to offer”.

He added: “The agreement also greatly strengthens our connectivity to Southampton and Exeter with extra connecting options via Manchester complementing our direct services from the central belt and Newcastle.

“We look forward to further developing our relations with Blue Islands for the benefit of all our customers.”
