Jersey airport is calling on islanders to share their ideas for the new layout plans of the arrivals and departures terminals.

It comes after the States of Jersey approved plans to knock down the listed 1930's arrivals building and replace it with a combined arrival and departures terminal.

The redevelopment plans should cost £42 million and it will be the biggest renovation cost in the airport's 80 year history.

The airport has been holding public sessions and speaking with people about how best to make the airport user friendly and has already spoken with disability groups.

It aims to hold more drop in sessions "in the near future" and customers are being asked to go to its website to submit ideas.

Plans to knock down the 1930's terminal and replace it with a modern facility were initially approved by the States in 2014.

Work is scheduled to start in October and is expected to take up to three years to complete.
