Postcard – Tunis, Tunisia
Blink’s first flight to Tunisia – Sat 12 June 2010
Captain Dave Stoddart and First Officer Lee Barringer piloted Blink’s first flight to Tunisia. They sent this postcard upon arrival in Ibiza.
We departed Geneva late morning with a planned flight time just under 2 hours and good weather forecast for the whole journey. Our route took us over the Alps and the Cote d’Azur, passing down the west coast of Corsica then down the length of Sardinia, overflying Cagliari and finally on towards the coastline of Tunisia.
It was a fairly typical hazy north African day but we had excellent views of some large resort hotels to the north of Tunis as we made our descent towards the airport about 30 miles further south. The runway in use for landing required us to fly over the top of the airport and then turn back and land towards the north. Air traffic control was as good as anywhere in Europe and the airport itself is well equipped with two long runways. Although neither of us had been to Tunis before, all the procedures for our approach and landing were as one would expect of modern airport. After landing, we were guided around to the general aviation terminal and promptly met by our handling agents, who then supplied us with fuel for the following day’s flight.
Although we only had a brief night in Tunis, the impression is of a relaxed and easygoing culture with a hint of its colonial French past. Most people we engaged with spoke good English and were very friendly. Tunisia in general seems fairly westernised and has a large established tourist industry spread over several resort areas, each of which is served by a modern airport. These include the island of Djerba in the south, Sfax and Monastir on the central east coast and brand new airport at Sousse about 200 km south of Tunis.
We departed the following morning for Ibiza, which took us west along the north coast of Algeria for about an hour before turning towards the Balearics.
Again, we had an enjoyable flight and the views from the Mustang at 40000 feet were superb.

Blink summer bases – an expanded network
A pan-European network of bases from London to Sardinia
We’re going to make the most of the sunshine by opening new bases for the summer season.
From June until October, Blink aircraft and crew will be regularly based across 7 bases
- South of France (Nice/Cannes) – seasonal base
- Sardinia (Olbia) – seasonal base
- Balearic Islands (Ibiza/Palma/Mahon) – seasonal base
- London (Blackbushe/Farnborough/Luton) – permanent base
- Channel Islands (Jersey/Guernsey) – permanent base
- Geneva (Geneva) – permanent base
Customers will be able to fly at the shortest notice directly from these locations. And with our planes there, ready and waiting, our prices will get even better value, as we’ll not have to position any resources from our nearest permanent base in Geneva.
What’s more, our seasonal bases will bring many new non-stop Blink destinations into our network, adding to the 600 we already cover across Western and Northern Europe. Fly non-stop, for example, from Nice to Athens, Thessaloniki or Bucharest, or from Ibiza non-stop to Casablanca and Marrakesh.
Look out for our monthly fare promotions to qualify for the best deals. If we’ve got a plane on the ground, we should be ready to go within 2 hours of your call.
Airport in Focus: Jersey
Elizabeth Castle, Jersey, Channel Islands, UK. Seen from the sea at high tide.
The home of legendary TV detective Bergerac, the bailiwick of Jersey is an island with more than 1,000 years of history, a possession of the British crown but independent from the United Kingdom. 118 square miles, with a population of 88,000, Jersey has a GDP of more than £40,000 per head. As a tax haven less than 300 miles from London and Paris, it hosts a flourishing industry of fiduciary and trust experts. For them and their clients, air transportation links between the island and the major cities of Europe are essential. Yet it remains relatively poorly connected.
Poor air connections
Geneva, for example has just two flights a week to Jersey and Guernsey, and the return trips are often routed via Zurich. A day trip is almost impossible to make, and for busy financiers, a 3 day investment is a major disincentive to go at all. For that reason, the Channel Islands have a high density of jet owners.
Fly direct with Blink
But even flying privately, access is problematic; the islands are frequently fog-bound and the wet weather restrictions are severe for larger jet aircraft. Small aircraft with superior short runway performance have best access, though pilots still require specific certification.
Blink has both – which is why one of our 3 permanant European bases for our Cessna Mustang fleet is located right here in the islands.

Airport focus: In and out of Lugano
Known as the ‘Monte Carlo of Switzerland’, Lugano is located in the south of Switzerland and on the border with Italy. The city is situated on its own lake and lies between the legendary Lake Maggiore and Lake Como. In short, Lugano is the gateway to Europe’s most beautiful and glamourous lake-side destinations, from Bellagio to Villa d’Este, from Varenna to Isola Bella. A popular retreat for aristocrats and celebrities since Roman times, the lakes provide the most exclusive of romantic getaways. The only issue is how to get there without getting caught up in the crowd.
Fly direct with Blink
You could take a commercial airline to Milan and drive there…if you’re willing to put up with the airport scrum, the frequently delayed schedules, the potential lost bags, and then the 2 hour drive, traffic permitting. Or fly right there to Lugano, on one of the few jets capable of accesssing the city’s mountain-enclosed airport – Blink’s Mustang. Our aircraft’s best-in-class runway performance, and our captains’ superior training, can get a full complement of 4 passengers and luggage in and out all year long. A couple of hours from London, an hour from Paris, less from Geneva, and we’ll bring you here to explore more.
Book now
Contact Blink Flight Services to book your next flight direct into Lugano. Email them at blink@flyblink.com or phone them at +44 (0)20 7199 1400.
