The JEP can tonight reveal how a Council of Ministers decision not to provide Blue Islands any more lifeline funding – little more than a week after they had approved a separate, significant cash injection rumoured to be around £1.5m – led the airline to immediately stop operations.

To help readers make sense of what happened, and what it means for our community, the Jersey Evening Post has produced this special one-off digital edition, Grounded.
Inside, you’ll find clear explanations of the timeline of events, expert analysis of the factors behind the airline’s abrupt halt, and practical guidance for affected passengers – including advice from the Consumer Council and updates from government.
