Guernsey has a single airport; on the English side there are three. Pick the one nearest your front door.
| Airport | Codes | Great-circle to Guernsey | Why it is on this list |
|---|---|---|---|
| Farnborough | FAB / EGLF | 242 km | The reference departure for the calculated time. No airline traffic at all, which keeps the terminal quiet and the walk to the aircraft short. Farnborough airport page. |
| London Biggin Hill | BQH / EGKB | 282 km | Forty kilometres more flying, and the better start from the City, Docklands or anywhere in Kent. Runway length 1,806 m. Biggin Hill airport page. |
| London Luton | LTN / EGGW | 314 km | The furthest of the three from the island but the nearest for Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and north London. Runway 07/25, 2,162 m. Luton airport page. |
| Guernsey | GCI / EGJB | arrival | Runway 09/27, 1,463 m, in the south-west of the island. St Peter Port, the island's town and harbour, is on the east coast. |
The calculator's reference type, the Citation XLS+, is also the one seen most on this hop. A runway of a little under 1,600 m makes light and midsize jets the natural fit.
Seven or eight seats in a cabin with standing room, and the type the Aviapages time is based on.
Citation XLS+ ›A compact jet built with short runways in mind; the second type that keeps appearing on the Guernsey records.
Partner operators' aircraft ›Four or five seats. For one or two passengers with little luggage it is the smallest sensible cabin.
HondaJet ›Seat bands are taken from our aircraft pages. Larger cabins into Guernsey are offered only once the type has been checked against the runway.

On a sector this short the flying time is a small part of the bill. A midsize cabin such as the XLS, waiting time on the island and the position of the aircraft make most of the difference.
A day return with the aircraft waiting at Guernsey usually beats two separate one-way bookings, because nobody pays for the jet to cross the Channel empty twice.
Indicative, not binding: only a written quotation is a price. Call +357 95 119759, 24/7.
GET A FIRM PRICEThe two islands are often lumped together, but they are separate jurisdictions with separate airports. Guernsey heads its own Bailiwick, which also takes in Alderney, Sark and Herm; its finance industry is one reason weekday flights from London are common.
If you are heading on to Herm or Sark, the boats leave from St Peter Port harbour, across the island from the airport. Tell us the onward plan and we time the landing to it.
