## Description

Handling roughly 1.47 million passengers a year, Jersey Airport (JER/EGJJ) is busy by island standards yet runs no freighter services at all: cargo to and from the Channel Island travels as belly freight in passenger aircraft. An on-airport cargo centre at St Peter handles acceptance and release, and Swissport provides ground handling. Consignments from outside Europe normally clear a UK hub first and reach the island by feeder flight or ferry. Jersey sits in a customs union with the United Kingdom but charges its own Goods and Services Tax of 5 per cent instead of UK VAT, so imports need a separate declaration. Ferries from St Helier harbour to Poole, Portsmouth and Saint-Malo carry most palletised and groupage traffic, leaving air freight to urgent spares, perishables and express shipments. For freighter capacity or larger volumes, shippers route via Southampton (SOU) or London Gatwick (LGW), with Guernsey (GCI) covering inter-island traffic.
