As a regional airline the one thing you can't do is stand still.. the market place is too competitive, the inevitable costs increases need balancing by economies of scale and opportunities need to be grabbed as they come along. Blue Islands the dynamic little airline based in the UK channel islands has announced two major route launches in as many weeks. From November 01st passengers can use them to get to Jersey and Guernsey not only from Manchester, announced 07th September  and starting 31st October 31st,but also from holiday town Bournemouth  announced today and starting 01st November. Anyone who says that there is no place for an entrepreneurially run airline above the UK skies should look towards Blue Airlines as an example of how one can succeed.  We love Blue Islands and its great to see their strong response to changing market conditions, both commercial and political plus who else give you free unlimited baggage (subject to availability), no credit card charges and no change fees. You can book them at www.blueislands.com or call the extremely helpful reservations people (who actually like answering the phone and speaking to passengers !) on+44 1481 727567.
