Jersey Airport could soon see upgrades to its historic arrivals building and the parking and transport facilities outside it, if plans are approved.
The application for the arrivals hall seeks permission to make the 1930s building wind- and water-tight, remove asbestos, and strip out defunct mechanical and electrical systems.
Ports of Jersey said the remedial work would protect the listed building and ensure its conservation is fully considered in future redevelopment plans.
Airport director Ashley Maggs explained: “The planned renovations at this time are minor in scale and would only affect parts of the 1937 terminal that have already been substantially altered.
“We will protect the building’s surviving historic character, while allowing for the safe removal of asbestos.
“We are fully committed to protecting the special interest of the historically significant building.”
The art deco terminal was once due for demolition on safety grounds because of its location near the runway, but it was spared in 2021 when Ports withdrew its plans after campaigners commissioned an independent study that found it did not pose a risk.
Alongside the remedial work, Ports has also applied to reorganise transport infrastructure at the Airport and create new parking, cycle and taxi shelters.
This follows the demolition of Hangar 4, an aircraft storage and maintenance building, which has freed up land next to the terminal to be used for new customer parking.
Plans include new cycle shelters near the departures building on the site of the current smoking shelter, a relocated taxi rank with a new shelter, and a bus stop brought right outside the arrivals terminal.
Ports is also seeking permission to use nearby land previously home to the Covid test centre as temporary hire-car storage.
According to the organisation, the combined package of works will “support a reduction in the reliance on the private car by offering support to opportunities for more sustainable travel habits, but also an overall enhancement of the user-experience, both for new visitors to our island and the seasoned local traveller”.
