Passenger numbers already up ahead of seasonal services resuming

Ports of Jersey says the 'positive' start to 2026 is continuing, as it looks ahead to summer.

Passenger numbers are rising, and seasonal services are set to resume.

Air passengers between January and March are up 2.2% this year compared to 2025.

British Airways has recorded an increase of 16%.

Looking ahead, this summer, there will be up to 12 flights a day to London from Jersey with the introduction of the London Southend service. 

KLM's service to Amsterdam will increase to daily in July and August, and Jet2's service will soon expand for the summer. 

On the sea, DFDS has booked over 135,000 passengers so far this year, with forward bookings for the remainder of 2026 indicating a 'continued uplift' compared to last year.

Ports of Jersey say the outlook for April, May, and June is looking 'particularly positive.'

The Manche Îles Express services - between all the Channel Islands and France - are resuming from mid-April.
