Guernsey Airport

Guernsey Airport is the gateway to and from the island for nearly a million passengers that pass through the terminal each year. It is also a crucial supply link, with thousands of tonnes of essentials goods and services flown in and out by freight each year. It is therefore impossible to understate the importance of this essential lifeline for the island. Guernsey's new airport features a 325 metre distance from the terminal building to the aircraft stands and the challenge was to connect these two areas with a contemporary bespoke enclosed walkway.

The Woodhouse contract was to detail design, manufacture and install the complete walkway. It consists of a 2.4 metre wide glass enclosure divided into two sections for incoming and outgoing passengers, and features a glass roof which has been engineered to reduce solar gain.

The bespoke structure runs along the rear of the building, on air side, making it very prominent to travellers when they come in to land ensuring a fantastic aesthetic impression mixed with excellent functionality.
