Guernsey Ports proposes airport tax to improve assisted travel


“Besides improving facilities and equipment, the service charge will enable us to formalise the resource requirements and enhance external oversight, to ensure standards are maintained,” Mr Le Ray said.

Ports is consulting with stakeholders on its proposed tariff increases for 2025.

Mr Le Ray said the organisation had “written to all our stakeholders and are inviting them to comment on our proposals over the next four weeks”.

As well as the proposed airport tariff increases, Ports is proposing above inflation increases in a range of areas including marina fees, airport landing fees, harbour charges, and cargo and freight fees.

Under the proposals, adults travelling by ferry between Guernsey and the UK or France would pay £5.39 in tariffs, 74p more than currently, while tariffs for inter-island services would increase by 32p to £1.63.

The proposals come as part of Ports’ wider strategy to eliminate its need for taxpayer subsidy.
