Guernsey Airport

There is a lot to see and do in Guernsey and there is a regular bus service from outside the main terminal building (a short walk from ASG) to St Peter Port and other parts of the Island.

Guernsey Airport welcomes general aviation and business aviation visitors and GARs are not needed for flights between Guernsey and Alderney (assuming a GAR has been completed on arrival in Alderney). All that is required is a simple ‘Mini Flight Plan’ which can be downloaded here. On arrival, ATC will normally direct GA aircraft to ASG (or Stand 23) which acts as handling agents for private and business aviation. More information can be found on the Guernsey Airport website.

Full details of Landing and Parking charges can be found here.
