About Alderney Airport
Alderney Airport is the main air link for Saint Anne, the principal town on the island of Alderney in Guernsey. Identified as ACI and EGJA, it is classed as a medium airport and sits at an elevation of 290 feet (88 m) above sea level. For travellers, its biggest advantage is simplicity: this is a small island airport where distances are short, the setting is relaxed, and arriving by air puts you close to the heart of Alderney rather than far from it.
The airport has three runways, which is notable for such a compact island gateway. Runway 08/26 is the longest at 2,877 feet and has an asphalt surface with lighting, while Runway 13/31 is 2,405 feet, gravel, and also lighted. Runway 03/21 is shorter at 1,631 feet and gravel. For passengers, these details mainly matter because runway length, surface, and lighting all influence how aircraft operate here, especially in changing island weather, so flight schedules can be more sensitive to local conditions than at larger mainland airports.
