Alderney Airport
Alderney Airport
Alderney Airport (IATA: ACI,
ICAO: EGJA) is the only airport on the island of Alderney. Built in 1935,
Alderney Airport was the first airport in the Channel Islands. Located on the
Blaye (1 NM (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) southwest of St Anne), it is the closest Channel
Island airport to the south coast of England and the coast of France. Its
facilities include a hangar, the Airport Fire Station and avgas refuelling. In
2014 the airport handled 61,317 passengers and 6,183 total movements, continuing
the downturn in traffic noted in recent years.
Runways
Alderney is unique amongst
Channel Islands airports in having three operational runways. The main runway,
08/26 is 880 m (2,887 ft) long and is mainly asphalt. The two secondary runways
are both grass, 13/31 being 733 m (2,405 ft) long, with 03/21 having a length
of 497 m (1,631 ft). The main runway is equipped with low intensity lighting,
with portable lighting being available on runway 14/32. The approach and runway
lights were replaced in 2006.
Operations
The terminal building, erected in
1968, contains an arrivals room and a departure lounge, with a check-in desk
for the airport's only scheduled airline, Aurigny. Alderney is not a 24-hour
airport; during winter, it is open Monday to Saturday from 0740 until 1830 and
on Sunday from 0840 until 1830. During summer, it is open Monday - Thursday
from 0740 until 1830 and Friday - Sunday from 0740 until 1920.
The airport also has its own
non-directional beacon, with runways 08 and 26 utilizing this for instrument
approaches during Instrument meteorological conditions. A GPS (satellite)
approach is also being developed in conjunction with Eurocontrol and NATS. This
will mean that aircraft can land in lower visibility.
Alderney has self-manoeuvring
stands. Formal stands are not required due to the lack of space to accommodate
nose-in-configured aircraft.
