## Description

Around 684,000 passengers in 2024 yet only about 2,275 tonnes of air cargo a year sums up Guernsey Airport (GCI, ICAO EGJB): a passenger gateway rather than a freight station. It sits in the south of the Channel Island some six kilometres from Saint Peter Port and works a single runway, 09/27. The island's own carrier Aurigny, which also provides ground handling, links Guernsey with London Gatwick and more recently Heathrow, complemented by Blue Islands; 2026 is on course for the highest passenger volumes since the pandemic. No scheduled freighters operate here — mail and time-critical perishables move as belly cargo, while general freight, building materials and retail goods arrive by sea via Portsmouth. On the customs side, Guernsey sits inside the customs union with the United Kingdom but outside the UK VAT area, so consignments need customs paperwork and are treated separately for tax. For palletised air freight and express traffic, East Midlands (EMA) is the relevant UK hub.
