Welcome to Guernsey Airport .

The was opened in 1939 as a grass airfield with 4 rough grass runways. Its first use was by the German Luftwaffe during there invasion of the Channel Islands. By 1948 BEA and Jersey airlines were flying regular trips to Southampton. A new 4800ft tarmac runway was constructed and traffic increased with regular services to London and Southampton using Viscount and Herald aircraft. Guernsey was a main base for Aurigny and for over 30 years the little yellow islanders and Trislanders aircraft were used on the inter island link. During 2012 the airport close for over 40days to allow construction of a runway extension. This allowed larger aircraft like the EMB190, B737 and A320 aircraft to the use the airport. Today the main operators are Aurigny and Flybe.
