Jersey Airport Set for Busiest Weekend of the Year

Ports of Jersey said Jersey Airport expects more flights this summer than in 2025, with the coming weekend projected to rank among the busiest of the year. The increase totals 7% more flights for 2026. Ports of Jersey attributed the growth to airlines adding new routes while keeping existing connections.

New service from Loganair, KLM, and Jet2 contributed to the higher flight count. EasyJet reinstated its route to London Southend, which the operator linked to continued airline and traveler interest.

EasyJet stated its Jersey operations remain unaffected by jet fuel supply issues this summer. The airline reported bookings for Jersey flights in line with prior years and confirmed no schedule changes. Kenton Jarvis of EasyJet told the BBC that travelers should not alter plans over fuel concerns.

He added that the airline maintains adequate supplies and that later booking patterns reflect uncertainty tied to the Iran-US war that began in February. Ferry operator DFDS reported higher bookings since the Iran-US war started. A spokesperson said the company is monitoring demand and can add sailings if needed.
