Thursday, 19 September 2024 12:30

FlyDirect is running flights to the Costa del Sol, Algarve, and Balearic Islands again in 2025, after reporting a boom in passengers this summer.

Islanders can once again travel to Ibiza, Malaga, Palma and Faro without switching flights in the UK or another destination.

FlyDirect has confirmed its programme for next summer, saying passenger numbers were up by more than 25% this year.

From early May to late October, BA Cityflyer will be taking people away to Spain and Portugal. 6,000 seats have gone on sale.

Jersey to Majorca (Palma): Saturdays, 3 May to 27 September 2025;
Jersey to Faro: Saturdays, 24 May to 20 September 2025;
Jersey to Ibiza: Saturdays, 24 May to 19 July 2025;
Jersey to Costa del Sol (Malaga): Friday 25 April & Saturdays, 3 to 17 May & 27 September to 25 October 2025.

Robert Mackenzie, C.I. Travel Group’s Managing Director says the summer 2025 programme focuses on those destinations that have proved popular in previous years.

"In particular, we want to offer the best value possible for families and our higher child discounts of up to £100 per child for a return flight or holiday are designed to help with the cost of their holiday."

Matt Thomas, CEO Ports of Jersey has welcome the group's 2025 programme, saying the direct flights enhance our connectivity to Europe and offer island residents a unique opportunity for more convenient travel options.

"Establishing and maintaining strong connectivity is vital for both island residents and our economy."

"We are proud to offer, through C. I. Travel Group, a diverse range of air links into Europe and are committed to promoting an environment that encourages the development of this connectivity through productive partnerships."
