Storm-damaged Guernsey Airport roof repairs estimated to cost £6.1m

Overview

The States' Trading Supervisory Board in Guernsey has requested up to £6.1m in funding from the Policy and Resources Committee to repair the storm-damaged roof of Guernsey Airport. The roof suffered significant damage during high winds, including Storm Ciarán in November 2023, which dislodged panels onto the airside apron. If approved, the extensive structural repairs could take up to 18 months to complete.

  • Storm Ciarán in November 2023 dislodged several roof panels that fell onto the airside apron.
  • Scaffolding was erected as a safety measure and to allow for a detailed inspection of the roof.
