Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
Small Channel Island airport, could make for a fun small generic airport with some unusual local airlines, even smaller than neighbouring Jersey. Would also be a good introduction for Aurigny and FlyBe’s Q400s which are missing from the game.

Aurigny is the local airline, operating a fleet of ATR’s and DO228s. West Atlantic does regular cargo flights in and out using ATR’s, tends to fly between Jersey and Guernsey before heading back to the UK.2018,

Unique Features or Challenges
Limited to small aircraft, B class but can and has taken A320 and 737 variants at lower payloads, but plenty of stand space with a full set of taxiways so no need for backtracking. Perfectly setup for generic airport ops.
