It will be easier for islanders to get to Bournemouth in 2026, with direct flights launching next summer.
Jet2 is launching twice-weekly flights to the southern seaside city in England.
It will provide 7,000 seats for both islanders and visitors.
The Minister for Sustainable Economic Development, Deputy Kirsten Morel, says he is delighted with this welcome investment in Jersey’s connectivity, which brings capacity for thousands of additional visitors to enjoy everything our Island has to offer.
"I know that Ports of Jersey and Visit Jersey will be working with Jet2 and our local hospitality industry to make the most of this opportunity and deliver a further boost to this important sector."

Ports of Jersey’s Chief Operating Officer, Stephen King, says the decision to expand their routes and capacity provides a major boost for connectivity, tourism, and the local economy.
"We plan to maintain the resilience of our air links, with backing from the Government’s support package, and develop our connectivity through the kinds of productive partnerships that we have established with the airlines that serve Jersey.
"We’re proud to work with Jet2 and look forward to building on this partnership to deliver even more choice and convenience for both Islanders and visitors."
