This initiative, which began in 2019, continues to help Channel Islanders pursue their ambitions and opportunities by providing free flights.

According to Rob Veron, CEO of Blue Islands, “The range of aspirations showcased in a record number of applications, from sports to charities, art, and personal enrichment, is a testament to the amazing talent, dedication, and passion of Channel Islanders.”

In this latest round of funding, 300 free flights worth over £25,000 have been awarded to beneficiaries in sports, charities, and the arts.
