JERSEY is to be connected to Stansted from 27 May by twice-daily flights operated by Atlantic Express, a newly formed subsidiary of the long established Air Atlantique Group. A 68-seat ATR 72 will be used for the service which it is anticipated will link in with most of the 150 low fare destinations now served from Stansted. A block time of one hour is anticipated. Atlantic Express is also planning Jersey to Zurich, commencing this summer. David de Carteret, Jersey”s director of tourism, said: ”The introduction of Stansted opens a major hub to international travel for our visitors and local residents. The Zurich route adds further to this with obvious benefit to the business sector ” this is very good news for Jersey”.
