Loganair Orders 5 Electric Aircraft To Become Europe’s First Commercial Electric Airline

Aviation Today News Desk / July 26, 2026

Farnborough, United Kingdom: Loganair has signed a term sheet with BETA Technologies to add five all-electric ALIA conventional takeoff and […]

Jersey, Channel Islands: Blue Islands, the Channel Islands regional carrier, suspended trading and cancelled all future flights with immediate effect on 14 November 2025, the airline confirmed in a statement posted to its website. The airline said it was “considering its options” and warned passengers not to travel to airports unless they had made alternative arrangements. The sudden halt ended more than two decades of operations for the airline that connected Guernsey and Jersey with airports across the UK and parts of Europe. Blue Islands whose fleet consisted of ATR 72 turboprops grounded its aircraft as staff and passengers learned of the closure late on Friday. In its media statement the carrier said it regretted the disruption and advised customers with bookings to contact their booking agent or payment provider for refunds and further guidance. The airline also referred passengers with codeshare bookings to the partner carrier named on their ticket. Local authorities in the Channel Islands said they were urgently assessing the fallout for passengers and staff. The collapse said Blue Islands’ decision followed unsuccessful attempts to secure a last-minute financial lifeline. Reports indicate the Government of Jersey had been unable to provide further support, leaving the airline with no viable option but to suspend operations. Regional operators moved quickly to plug gaps left by Blue Islands. Loganair announced it would operate flights on several former Blue Islands routes and offer special “rescue fares” to help stranded travellers, with services planned between Jersey, Guernsey and key UK airports from as early as the weekend following the suspension. Aurigny and other operators also confirmed they were coordinating to provide additional capacity where possible. Passengers affected by cancellations were advised by the airline and local broadcasters not to travel to airports unless they had confirmed onward travel. Those seeking refunds were told to contact the company they booked through or their card issuer. Industry guidance also suggested passengers on package holidays contact their tour operator. Blue Islands’ collapse comes amid a turbulent period for small regional carriers in the UK market, following other recent failures that have reduced seat capacity on short-haul and island routes. Analysts say a combination of rising operating costs, labour pressures and thin margins for short regional sectors has left several carriers exposed. The immediate priorities for governments and airports will be to restore reliable services for island communities and to manage the economic and employment impact.
