Closed petition Affordable and Fair Air Fares for Jersey Residents
We request the Minister to enter discussions with airlines and consider ways that flight costs could be reduced perhaps through subsidies. A 35-minute flight to the UK mainland often costs more than a 3-hour flight to Spain. Island residents rely on air travel.
More details
Residents of Jersey depend on air travel as an essential link to the United Kingdom for employment, education, medical care, and family life. With limited competition and no rail or road alternatives, fares remain high and unpredictable. It is often cheaper to fly onward from the UK to Spain than to reach the mainland itself, creating inequality for island communities.
