Blue Islands’ new ground handling team improves operator turn-around times in first week

Channel Islands airline Blue Islands’ newly created ground handling team has improved the operator’s turn-around times in its first weekend of operation.

The airline created 32 new local jobs with the creation of its own ground handling team, which now provides services to all Blue Islands operated flights at Guernsey Airport.

“It’s an exciting time in the continued sustainable development of Blue Islands,” said Rob Veron, CEO Blue Islands.

“The creation of our 32-strong ground team puts Blue Islands in control of many critical aspects of our flight arrival and departure processes.

“2019 has been another progressive year for our business, including the addition of three new routes from Guernsey and now with our new dedicated ground handling team, Blue Islands remains focused on continuing to provide the very best value for money services to our customers travelling to and from Guernsey.”

The new handling team incorporates several different roles, including check-in agents, aircraft despatchers, baggage handlers and ramp agents, all of whom have been trained specifically in each discipline.

“It has been a pleasure to welcome our newest employees into Blue Islands and I would like to thank everyone for such a tremendous team effort to ensure a smooth transition to our own handling provision at Guernsey Airport,” Veron added.

“As a locally owned and managed business, we proudly serve the Channel Islands.”
