Plans to introduce a children's play area and new duty-free shop at Jersey Airport

Ports of Jersey has announced plans to redevelop the airport terminal, including a roof terrace, in the coming years.

Passengers can expect a new duty-free shop, and restaurant and the introduction of new technology, which the company hopes will enable smoother travel through Jersey Airport.

The plans also include a seating area with sea and runway views and a children's play area.

The company says: "We hope to create an ‘open to all’ roof terrace (subject to building and security approvals) between the old and new terminal buildings, a fun play area for children, as well as a quieter area that will provide a calm environment for passengers seeking somewhere peaceful away from the hustle and bustle of the airport.

"We will create comfortable seating areas for passengers to relax in before they fly, including a space on the first floor with sea and runway views."

It adds: "We are excited to develop an improved arrivals experience and welcome to Jersey for our passengers.

"We look forward to sharing more information in the new year as we finalise the designs for Jersey Airport."
