Islanders will soon be able fly directly to the Isle of Man.
Blue Islands' new service, which connects via Guernsey, is aimed at business travellers and starts towards the end of next month.
Blue Islands CEO Rob Veron said the route would be "a true strategic benefit for our islands", adding that the route was created following "extensive industry engagement and a trial last year designed to assess the route's viability".
"There are many organisations operating across these jurisdictions, and current travel options are time-consuming, often with long-connections in the UK using multiple operators. Seats are available to book now enabling industry to plan meetings and appointments for the year ahead with the efficiency and convenience of direct flights."

"The new Blue Islands route between Jersey and the Isle of Man is very welcome," added Economic Development Minister Kirsten Morel.
"Our jurisdictions are both leading centres for international financial services, so it's great to see direct connectivity serving our business communities."
The service direct from Jersey will operate Tuesdays and Thursdays on alternate weeks starting on 23 April.
Anyone travelling to or from Guernsey will remain on the plane during the short stop in Jersey.
