About Us
The story behind FlyDirect and our mission to make travel simple and enjoyable.
Your Direct Link to Sunshine Holidays
FlyDirect is owned and operated by C. I. Travel Group, a well-established Jersey-based tour operator. We have been organising direct flights from the Channel Islands to sunshine holiday destinations for over 40 years. In 2026 we will be offering a choice of 5 destinations from Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man, our customers can choose from a fantastic range of hand-picked hotels, and can also book return flights or one way flights with us if accommodation is already organised.
A Growing Network of Destinations
In 2022, we were delighted to expand our offering to include flights from the Isle of Man—our first move beyond the Channel Islands. We’re continuing to grow, and in 2026, FlyDirect will offer:
- 5 destinations from Guernsey
- 5 destinations from the Isle of Man
- 5 destinations from Jersey
Whether you’re dreaming of sandy beaches or vibrant city breaks, you’ll find great options among our hand-picked destinations.
Flexible Travel Options
FlyDirect offers more than just holiday packages. Customers can choose from a carefully selected range of quality hotels, or if they prefer, they can book flights only—either return or one-way—if accommodation is already arranged elsewhere. We believe in giving our travellers flexibility to shape their perfect holiday.
Convenience You Can Count On
Flying direct means saving time, avoiding UK airport stopovers, and arriving at your destination feeling relaxed and ready to enjoy your trip. Our flight programmes are operated by reputable airline partners:
- BA CityFlyer: Operating our flights to Majorca, Ibiza, the Costa del Sol, and Portugal aboard modern Embraer E190 jets
- Smartwings: Providing comfortable service to Tenerife on Boeing 737-800 aircraft
