BLUE Islands has announced the return of its Jersey to Rennes service for 2023.
The airline, which launched the route with direct flights to the region last year, has said the service will commence on 23 June – with departures on Fridays and Mondays – and continue until 11 September, with additional flights on Wednesdays from 26 July to 30 August.
Economic Development Minister Kirsten Morel has said he would like to see the service become available all year round, on the basis that it could help increase tourism and economic activity between the two jurisdictions.
Rob Veron, the chief executive of Blue Islands, said: ‘Our focus is keeping Jersey connected, and we are excited to be providing direct links to France again this year with more flights added for greater choice and convenience as we look to sustainably build on last year’s programme.’
He added: ‘Rennes is a beautiful city that’s just a 40-minute flight from Jersey, and boasts excellent car hire, bus and train connections, meaning it’s also the perfect the gateway to the idyllic region of Brittany and destinations throughout France.’
The Rennes flights are available to book now via the blueislands.com website.
