Officials are aiming to keep the repair costs for the storm-damaged Guernsey Airport roof below £6m by reducing the scope of the project. The original estimate was around £20m. The damage was worsened by corrosion and deterioration of fixings, which are not covered by insurance, and the original construction company is no longer in business. Without these repairs, permanent scaffolding would be required, and the airport could face closure due to safety risks from dislodging roof panels.
