Blue Islands believes that the arrangement will attract new visitors to Jersey and Guernsey and will enable it to offer low fares.

Unlike most airlines, Blue Islands does not charge booking fees or baggage charges and offers its customers free ticket changes, however, under the new partnership, this will no longer be the case and customers will be subject to Flybe regulations and charges.

Between now and June, customers can continue to book on the existing Blue Islands website, blueislands.com am

All bookings for future travel will be automatically transferred to a new booking system.
