The new services, which go on sale today represent a major boost to Jersey’s transport links, reinforcing the Island’s connections to key regional, leisure and business destinations while offering greater choice and flexibility for travellers. The routes will connect Jersey directly with Norwich and East Midlands in England, Dublin in Ireland and Paris Charles de Gaulle, one of Europe’s major international hubs.

The introduction of the Jersey to Paris service marks Loganair’s first-ever route to France, creating a new direct link between the Island and mainland Europe. The addition of Dublin also strengthens access to Ireland, while new UK routes improve onward connectivity across England, supporting tourism, trade, and business travel.

The new routes will be complemented by increased capacity between Jersey and Bristol. Starting from 2nd June, additional flights will be offered on Tuesday and Friday with a choice of two services on a Sunday.

The expanded network reflects Loganair’s continued commitment to supporting Jersey’s connectivity needs, ensuring the Island remains well linked for residents, visitors and businesses, while strengthening access to both domestic and international destinations.

Ronnie Matheson, chief commercial officer at Loganair, said: “Strengthening connectivity from Jersey is hugely important to Loganair and these new routes represent a meaningful step forward for the Island. By adding direct services to key UK cities, Dublin and Paris, we’re giving customers in Jersey more choice, better access and greater flexibility when travelling for work, leisure, or onward connections.

“This is a particularly exciting milestone for us, and it demonstrates our ongoing commitment to investing in routes that deliver real value for island communities while maintaining the high levels of service and reliability Loganair is known for.”

Matt Thomas, Chief Executive of Ports of Jersey, said: “We are delighted that Loganair is launching four new services for summer 2026.  This is another key milestone as we strengthen our partnership and help Loganair build their base in Jersey.  This further commitment enables islanders to enjoy connectivity to these popular UK and European destinations and demonstrates the appeal of our wonderful island to visitors.

Deputy Kirsten Morel, Minister for Sustainable Economic Development, said: “Enhanced and resilient air connectivity is essential for our community and supports our visitor economy. We’re delighted Loganair is growing its network this summer and I’m particularly pleased with the inclusion of services to Paris CDG. Jersey’s connectivity continues to grow, providing easy access for visitors choosing Jersey as a holiday destination.”

Loganair’s focus on customer experience and operational reliability continues to be recognised at a national level. In 2025, the airline was ranked among the top-performing short-haul airlines in the Which? annual customer survey, reflecting strong passenger feedback and was also named the UK’s most punctual airline of 2025 by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
