Regional airline Eastern Airways will start a summer service to Jersey from its Humberside airport base on June 19.

The new weekly Saturday service will be operated in partnership with CI Travel Group and Premier Holidays.

Roger Hage, the airline’s general manager, said: “Given the UK staycation growth especially for this summer, we are bringing this popular Channel Island service to Jersey back to Humberside airport for the summer season.

“As passenger confidence increases following the UK’s relaxation of restrictions, we want to ensure the right services are being offered.

“Commencing Jersey will offer a welcome UK break destination from Humberside.”

The airline has also recently added other services such as Gibraltar from Birmingham and Southampton and Newquay from Leeds-Bradford.

Deborah Zost, managing director at Humberside airport said: “We look forward to welcoming holidaymakers back to our airport, alongside business travellers who have relied on our ongoing operational support for airline and helicopter service providers throughout the pandemic.

“The return of the Jersey service as travel restrictions continue to ease is a positive sign of recovery for the UK economy.”

Robert Mackenzie, managing director at CI Travel Group, added: “We have been associated with operating direct flights to Jersey from the Humberside region for many years. So, it is fantastic to be partnering with Eastern Airways this year to continue the popular service and offering holidays in this beautiful island.”

The weekly service will run until September 25 with fares from Jersey starting at £84.99.

A service from Teesside to Jersey is also operating weekly on Saturdays from May 29 with Eastern Airways.
