Guernsey Airport is the largest airport in the Bailiwick of Guernsey and is the only airport on the island of Guernsey. It is located in the Forest, a parish in Guernsey, 2.5 NM west southwest of St. Peter Port. It was officially opened on 5 May 1939. However, regular air services only commenced in October 1946.

Work started on a new terminal building in 2002, which became operational on 19 April 2004. The old terminal was demolished in May 2004 to make space for additional aircraft stands and a passenger walkway from the new terminal. The new terminal should be able to handle about 1.25 million passengers per year.

In 2009, 937,391 passengers used the airport, with 57,634 aircraft movements.
