Guernsey the poorer neighbour of Jersey always seemed to fall on the wayside of any major route expansion in the past. The Island has always maintained a steady number of visitors so hopefully this will work well for Blue Islands and give the people of Liverpool an alternative departure point.

Your right it seems like that, given that Easyjet are using A319s into Jersey, surely Blue Islands with their smaller aircraft should manage to do ok.

I do recall when I moved to the Northwest, there was only LPL-JER summers only with a British Midland DC9, plus some charters by local travel companies. So generally LPL to CI is much better now.
