Blue Islands expands

BLUE ISLANDS, once known as Rockhopper, and nominally based in Alderney, has added an ex-Air Atlantique 50-seat ATR 42 to its fleet.  The airline, which competes with the State of Guernsey-owned Aurigny, now has an operational  fleet of the ATR, a single Dornier 328 (30 passengers), four Jetstream J32s (19), two Trislanders (17) and an Islander (9).  The airline says it will carry 150,000 passengers this year and has 60% of the Guernsey – Jersey market.  It also flies to Southampton, the Isle of Man and to both Geneva and Zurich. www.blueislands.com
