bmi will cease flights from Heathrow to Jersey at the end of March this year.

Saint Aubin harbour, Jersey

Despite receiving subsidies to operate the flights, the airline said that the channel islands route had failed to achieve an “acceptable level of financial performance“.

Economic Development Minister for Jersey Alan Maclean said that a combination of change in ownership of bmi, deteriorating market conditions and poor economic prospects had led to the airline’s decision to withdraw.

Third Heathrow runway
Despite the announcement, bmi welcomed the decision that Heathrow will get a third runway with this statement:

“We congratulate the Government in making this bold decision. It will ensure that Heathrow maintains its pre-eminent position as one of the world’s leading international hub airports with all of the jobs and commercial benefits that go with it.”
