Work to resolve roof issues at Guernsey Airport under way

Guernsey Ports said scaffolding would be in place around the terminal building for "at least 12 months"

Work to resolve issues with the terminal roof at Guernsey Airport is under way, says Guernsey Ports.

It said the roof had "suffered a number of structural failures in high winds".

Guernsey Ports said scaffolding would be in place around the terminal building for "at least 12 months".

Joe Armstrong, Guernsey Ports project manager, said there would be no "major impacts to airport operations or passenger access".

He said the scaffolding "will allow for further ongoing maintenance while a detailed inspection of the roof's condition is undertaken".

"This inspection will establish what options we have to safeguard and extend the useful life of the terminal roof cladding system.

"But this is dependent on the outcome of the inspection and the time taken to undertake any repairs that are required."
