Guernsey Airport Airport codes|GCI|EGJB is the only airport on the island of Guernsey. It is located in the Forest, a parish in Guernsey. It was officially opened on 5 May 1939. However, regular air services only commenced in October 1946.

Until 1960 there were four grass runways, with lengths ranging from 2040 ft to 3060 ft. In 1960, the new tarmacked runway of a length of 4800 ft was opened. It is still in use today.
