Alderney's vital link to the Channel Islands and mainland.

Opened
1935
Location
Saint Anne, Guernsey
Alderney Airport is the sole airport serving the island of Alderney, the third-largest of the Channel Islands. Located near the island's main settlement of Saint Anne, it provides essential air connectivity for residents and visitors to this small British Crown Dependency. The airport operates a grass runway alongside a hard-surface runway, reflecting the island's modest traffic volumes and general aviation character. It is owned and operated by the States of Alderney and serves as a critical lifeline for the island community, given the limited ferry services available. Scheduled services connect Alderney primarily to Guernsey and Southampton, making it an important node in the regional air network of the Channel Islands. The airport handles a mix of scheduled passenger flights and private general aviation traffic.
Terminals
The airport has a small, single terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes typical of a small island community.

A tiny island runway where the English Channel meets the sky

Alderney Airport is the small regional gateway serving the Channel Island of Alderney, one of Britain's most remote and charming dependencies. Opened in the 1930s and expanded post-war, it handles light aircraft and short-hop services connecting the island to Guernsey and the UK mainland. Despite its modest scale, the airport is a lifeline for the island's roughly 2,000 residents and visiting tourists drawn by Alderney's wildlife, fortifications, and unspoiled coastline.

Ground Transport

  • Walking into Saint Anne town centre (approximately 10–15 minutes on foot)

Dining

Inside the terminal there is a small café serving light refreshments and snacks for departing passengers. Saint Anne town, a short walk or taxi ride away, offers a handful of pubs and restaurants serving fresh seafood and traditional British fare. Options are limited and may have seasonal hours, so arriving early or planning ahead is advisable.

Traveller Tips
  • Flights to and from Alderney are highly weather-dependent — check conditions and allow schedule flexibility.
  • The island has no public bus service, so arrange a taxi or hire car in advance during busy summer months.
  • Luggage allowances on small island-hopper aircraft are strictly enforced — pack light and weigh bags beforehand.
  • The airport is small and informal; arrive at least 30 minutes before departure to clear the brief check-in process.
