Jersey weighs public funds for Heathrow link (bbc.com)

Jersey's government may use its competitiveness fund to keep an all-year British Airways link to London Heathrow running. International Affairs and Treasury Minister Ian Gorst told a States scrutiny panel the route is "absolutely critical to our economic future" and that evening flights to the UK are also critical. British Airways' 2024 five-year agreement with Ports of Jersey covers 21 weekly Heathrow flights and 19 to Gatwick, while EasyJet has cut some routes after fuel price rises.
