Destination Alderney!
Register now for the 32nd Annual Alderney Fly-In – It’s all happening the weekend of 05-07 September 2025
After a band of heavy rain, with embedded thunderstorms, stretching across the whole of Southern England caused many pilots to abandon their plans to attend last year’s Fly-in, we have already started receiving Advance Registration Forms for what we hope is going to be a great event.
Despite the weather in the UK putting off a significant number of pilots, those that made it to Alderney in 2024 were of the opinion that it was well worth the effort, with the Gala dinner being voted the best one yet.
The programme for this year’s Fly-in is similar to last year with the emphasis on letting you decide what you want to do and when you want to do it. As and when you arrive, we will be waiting to transport you and your guests to the Blonde Hedgehog where our Welcome team will be waiting with a cup of coffee ready to meet and greet you all.
If you intend to join us for this year’s event, please let us have a few details by completing our Advance Registration Form, so we can get an early idea of numbers:
As usual, thanks to the support of our sponsor, Alderney Electricity, we will not be charging a Registration Fee to attend the 2025 Alderney Fly-in.
EGJA – Fuel Update

About Us
The Alderney Flying Club was founded to promote General Aviation in the Channel Islands with a particular focus on Alderney, the most northerly of the Channel Islands. Our position 8 miles off the Normandy coast makes us an ideal pilots destination either as a stopover or to stay for a few days, or even make your home here. Alderney airfield was the first airfield to be developed in the islands in 1935 and remains the only airfield in the region with three runways, which come in very handy for the GA community flying here because we do have a bit of wind at times. The small size of the island means that the many attractions we offer, from Gannets and puffins to the best preserved small Roman Fort in the UK, are all within easy walking or cycling distance. We also have hire cars and Taxis and our own railway, the later operating weekends and bank holidays throughout the spring and summer.
From a pilot’s viewpoint EGJA had the first GPS (now RNP) approach certified in the UK and with the recent changes post Brexit we will be one of only three airfields in the UK to retain that facility, along with our neighbours in Guernsey and Jersey.
Our most popular event is the Fly-In which has been held in June annually for around 25 years. At its peak in the 1970’s the Fly-In attracted over a hundred planes. These days, numbers are usually nearer fifty but we still aim to put on a programme that will help visiting pilots and their passengers explore Alderney’s heritage, appreciate its flora and fauna, and enjoy themselves.
