Jersey to encourage new air links
Jersey is attempting to encourage new airlines to serve the island with a special pricing arrangement.
As part of a broader market development plan, Jersey Airport is reviewing its aeronautical pricing structure with a view to making air services more commercially attractive and sustainable, according to a statement.
The airport and the States of Jersey Economic Development Department are willing to enter into commercial partnerships to support the establishment of new air services.
Expressions of interest are being sought for seasonal or year-round scheduled air services between Jersey and the following European countries:
Belgium – Brussels
France – Nice, Marseilles, Bordeaux, Paris, Nantes
Germany – Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt
Netherlands – Amsterdam, Rotterdam
Poland – Warsaw & Environs
Portugal – Faro, Lisbon
Spain – Alicante and other coastal resorts
Sweden – Stockholm
Switzerland – Zurich, Geneva
The aim of the campaign is to stimulate interest from airlines in operating new routes into Jersey from the specified destinations, as well as new business development opportunities for the airport to maximise air transport links, without migrating traffic from existing routes.
Director of tourism and economic development David de Carteret said: “Tourism is a key driver of economic prosperity for Jersey, and with a resident population of over 85,000 people and a dynamic international finance industry, there is buoyant demand for an increased range of air services that meet both leisure and business needs.
“This strategy is designed to support our 2% economic growth objective by added occupancy levels as well as on-island spends.”
Jersey Airport currently handles approximately 1.5 million passengers and 10,000 tonnes of freight a year.
