Guernsey Airport Proposes £12m Runway Extension to Accommodate Larger Aircraft

Guernsey's States' Trading Supervisory Board has proposed a £12m plan to extend the airport's runway by 120 meters. The project aims to allow larger, more modern aircraft like the Airbus A220 to operate with full passenger and fuel loads. This enhancement is expected to improve the island's air connectivity, potentially opening new routes and reducing ticket prices. Supporters, including the Institute of Directors, view the extension as crucial for Guernsey's economic future. The proposal is set to be debated by the island's government in June.
