The authority said 400,000 passengers had travelled through Jersey Airport after new routes between Jersey and Amsterdam, Bordeaux and Paris had been added and 10,000 passengers had used the ferry services. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ports’ head of connectivity Paul Holley said he was confident the growth would continue through the summer with “enhanced connectivity vital in providing greater choice and flexibility” for islanders and visitors. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

He said Jersey had up to six weekly flights to France as well as Finistair’s Brest route, Jet2 would continue to expand and EasyJet had launched flights to London Southend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
