Ports of Jersey CEO Matt Thomas said the whole situation had been “a bit of a rollercoaster” since Friday but that he was proud how it had been handled.
He said: “We’re really feeling for our colleagues at Blue Islands, the suspension of their flights on Friday night and the impact that’s had – it’s all been quite quick.
“Most bookings for airlines like Blue Islands are within the next four weeks – I think what we can do is try and give alternatives and options to everyone that needed to travel over the next four weeks and then let’s see what comes after that.”
Mr Thomas said he expected the first few weeks to be “a bit clunky” but asked islanders “to bear with us”.
He added: “I’m pretty optimistic that Jersey is an attractive location for airlines.”
