Alderney Airport Manager Keith Webster

Welcome to Alderney Airport
Built in 1938, Alderney Airport was the first airport in the Channel Islands. It is the closest Channel Island airport to the South coast of England and it is unique amongst Channel Islands airports as it has three operational runways. The airport welcomes several scheduled direct flights daily from Aurigny Air Services (Southampton and Guernsey)  and Blue Islands Airline (Bournemouth , Brighton City, Guernsey and  Jersey) and thousands of private aviators. Airport facilities include a hangar, the Airport Fire Station and low cost, duty-free, tax- free AvGas refuelling.

Duty-Free, VAT-free AvGas Supply   

AEL (Alderney Electricity Limited), the Alderney-based suppliers of Duty- and Vat-free AvGas have made substantial investments to provide this service to private aviators and commercial aviation companies. Tel +44(0)1481 824666

The small building - erected in 1968 and is now bursting out of its seams -which was accommodates an arrivals hall and a departure lounge with two check-in desks for Alderney's two local airlines, Aurigny Air Services and Blue Islands Airline. The departure lounge also includes a security check area for passengers and luggage.

There is also a small airport buffet which serves snacks and non-alcoholic refreshments from 7.30am until 6.30pm. The Airport Buffet also sells duty-free alcohol and tobacco and other duty-free goods as well as a range of souvenirs, cosmetics, perfumes and "made in Alderney" products. There is a taxi rank and you can use the freephone in the Arrivals Hall to book your transfer taxi or rental car.

One of the most famous frequently photographed fixtures of the airport is the sun dial outside the building , not to mention the famous "knit-while-you-wait" box in the departure lounge which invites waiting passengers to help knit squares . The wool is donated and the squares are subsequently stitched together to make up warm blankets which are shipped to Third World countries.

Alderney's Flying Club is also based at the Airport. Click here for more information.
