Arrivals from London and the Midlands were down by over 20,000 travellers because of cancelled air routes, notably the Heathrow and Luton services, which were operated by BMI and easyJet respectively.

The only two regions to see an increase in air traffic to Jersey was Northern Ireland and Yorkshire.

Figures were revealed in Jersey Tourism’s annual report based on information from a year-long exit survey that cost £65,000 to produce.
