Have your say on the future of Jersey's airport

Sunday 10 December 2017

Islanders views and ideas are being invited on the £42 million pound revamp of Jersey Airport.

Ports of Jersey revealed their 'ambitious' multi-million pound project in St Peter just over a fortnight ago, which sees the demolition of the 1937 arrivals terminal, and more shopping and food options in one modern multi-floor building.

International experts and a year of planning came up with the idea of housing both the departures and arrivals halls under one roof. 

At the time of the plan's unveiling, Ports of Jersey Chief Executive Doug Bannister said that much of the rationale behind the improvements revolved around customer satisfaction, and ensuring that the new, more open designs were both “intuitive” and minimised stress for travellers.

Mr Bannister also explained that passenger waiting times will be reduced and the development will ‘future proof’ the 20-year-old departures building to accommodate  the new challenges of increasingly large commercial aircraft and new aviation regulations.

The team behind the project want members of the public to give their feedback on the scope and design of one the island's gateways, to help shape the detailed stages of the development.

Representatives will be at St Peter’s Parish Hall between 10am-12pm on Saturday 13th January 2018, and between 6pm and 8pm on Wednesday 17th January 2018.
