Loganair has launched a new direct route from Jersey to Bordeaux, operating twice weekly on Mondays and Fridays from June 19 to October 5, 2026. This Scottish regional carrier’s service replaces an earlier announced Jersey-Dublin route, with one-way fares starting at £79.99 from Jersey and €89.99 from Bordeaux.
Tickets went on sale April 10, 2026, targeting leisure travelers seeking Bordeaux’s renowned wine region and culture. The route bolsters Jersey Airport’s European links amid rising demand for direct short-haul options from the Channel Islands.
Loganair operates the service with its Embraer 145 jets, seating 49 passengers for efficient regional hops of about 1.5 hours. This matches the carrier’s fleet strategy, emphasizing quick-turnaround turboprops and jets on thin routes where larger narrowbodies like the Airbus A220 prove uneconomical.
The addition forms part of Loganair’s 2026 Jersey expansion, including new services to Norwich, East Midlands, and Paris Charles de Gaulle starting May. It addresses supply constraints in UK regional aviation, where slot limits and pilot shortages curb growth.
For Jersey’s tourism-driven economy, the route matters by diversifying inbound visitors beyond UK domestics. Compared to easyJet’s seasonal Jersey-Nice flights, Bordeaux offers a closer alternative with stronger food and wine appeal, potentially lifting peak summer load factors.
