Blue Islands has announced its new routes which start early next month.

Destinations include Manchester, East Midlands, Exeter and Birmingham.

The Channel Islands airline, which has been running lifeline flights throughout the coronavirus pandemic, has also unveiled new aircraft branding.

Blue Islands announced earlier this week that it's moving its operating base to Jersey after taking on many of Flybe's routes and securing a £10 million loan from Jersey's government.

"We have been working really hard behind the scenes over the past few months with the aim of re-emerging, post pandemic, stronger and better than ever. We look forward to serving the Channel Islands again with extensive Guernsey schedules to Jersey, Southampton and beyond, together with our services from Jersey to Bristol, Southampton and new routes Birmingham and Exeter.

"Today is just the beginning. There will be more announcements in the coming days and weeks ahead. We would like to encourage everyone to explore our new website and fare options, plus learn about the wellbeing measures we have implemented. Sign up for regular updates and also register for our Blue Skies Club, our new frequent flyer programme that will truly reward our regular customers. We are very much looking forward to welcoming our passengers onboard soon." - Rob Veron, CEO.
