What is Blue Islands today started as Le Cocq's Airlink in 2001, was renamed to Rockhopper in August 2003 and finally adopted its current name in February 2006. In the past, the small airline has operated different commuter aircraft, mainly BAe 31 Jetstreams and ATR-42's, but also two BN-2 Islanders, a DHC-6 Twin Otter, a DO328 and a Fokker 50. The current fleet consists of five ATR-72, all of which were acquired 2nd hand as from 2017. Four are of the passenger version, and one - G-ISLP - is a freighter and only joined the fleet in mid March 2025. G-ISLM is seen here on a charter flight to BRN.
