Work to upgrade airport departure lounge under way

Jersey Airport passengers can expect some temporary changes as work to upgrade the departure lounge gets under way.

The Ports of Jersey (POJ) said there would be no impact on flights or check-in operations during the work.

It added the redevelopment was part of its 10-year programme of investing in the airport, which focused on improving facilities as well as passengers' "first and last impressions of the island".

Head of terminal operations, Sarah-Louise Stubbs, said the teams had worked hard to ensure key services remained open, accessible, and easy to find.

Stubbs added: "Clear signage is in place and additional team members are on hand to support passengers.

"This is a significant investment in Jersey's airport and in the first and last impressions we offer to everyone travelling to and from the island."

POJ said passengers could follow a new walkway to the departure lounge and there was some additional waiting areas while work took place.

The company said this current phase of works was due to be completed in the summer.

The whole departure lounge is expected to be open by summer 2027, and the next phase was planned to be delivered by the spring of that year, POJ said.
