Loganair launches new flight routes to Jersey

A new flight route between Jersey and East Midlands Airport has been launched.

Loganair said the service would begin from Sunday, with East Midlands being the second of four new summer routes the airline was launching from its Channel Islands base.

It said this followed the launch of Norwich flights in early May, and would be followed by Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Bordeaux as part of a "major expansion of services".

Ronnie Matheson, chief commercial officer at Loganair, said the new routes "represent a sizable investment for the airline".

Loganair said the flights would start from £94.

Paul Holley, head of connectivity at Ports of Jersey said: "High-frequency regional routes are vital for keeping islanders connected, while also giving visitors greater flexibility and choice when travelling to the island."

Adam Andrews, East Midlands Airport commercial director, said: "We know Jersey is a really popular destination offering an idyllic island escape, and East Midlands is a fantastic gateway for Jersey residents looking for access to our great region and beyond."
