Direct flights to Dublin during Christmas period

Blue Islands says the four additional dates will "remove the hassle" of connecting journeys

Direct flights from Jersey to Dublin are being offered to islanders over the Christmas period.

Blue Islands said it had created "a few extra flights" for people to spend the holiday and New Year with friends and family. The route is usually only available in the summer.

The airline announced at the start of August that it would also be offering direct flights to Bruges in Belgium for a "European Christmas market break".

Chief executive Rob Veron said the four additional dates would "remove the hassle" of connecting journeys.

He said: "We know how important it is for families to be together at Christmas, we're excited to offer this additional connectivity for Jersey at this special time.

"Whether you're heading to Dublin to celebrate with friends or relatives, looking to see in 2026 in the Irish capital, or welcoming visitors to Jersey, adding these direct flights will ensure simple travel between Jersey and Ireland this Christmas and New Year."

The flights will set off on 23, 27 and 30 December and 3 January.
