Direct flights to Paris among new Loganair Jersey routes

Loganair has announced it will operate four new direct routes from Jersey to Norwich, East Midlands, Dublin and Paris this summer.

The airline will also increase the frequency of its service to Bristol.

It said the expansion of flights shows it is 'committed to investing in routes that deliver value'.

Economic Development Minister, Kirsten Morel said the new routes would "provide easy access for visitors choosing Jersey as a holiday destination."

The decision to operate a new service to Paris comes after tourism bosses expressed their desire to bring in more French tourists in 2026.

Speaking at the end of last year, Visit Jersey CEO Tricia Warwick said there's a "big focus on France and building back that business".

Deputy Kirsten Morel, the Minister for Sustainable Economic Development said he was "particularly pleased" with the inclusion of services to Paris CDG.

"Enhanced and resilient air connectivity is essential for our community and supports our visitor economy" he said.

Along with new UK routes, there will also be increased flights to Bristol.

From 2 June, extra flights will be offered on Tuesday and Friday with two services on a Sunday.

Loganair's Chief Commercial Officer Ronnie Matheson said it was about providing "more choice, better access, and greater flexibility" to locals and tourists.
