4. Guernsey Airport Runway Extension Study

Committee

Proposition

To delete the propositions and substitute therefor: 1. To direct the States’ Trading Supervisory Board to prioritise the introduction of an Engineered Materials Arrestor System (EMAS) at Guernsey Airport within the current airport boundary using a phased approach with work on site commencing before June 2025 to achieve a runway length of 1623 metres. 2. To agree that the initial phase of the EMAS and associated works is to be at the eastern end of the runway within the existing airport boundary and is to include consideration of whether the existing Instrument Landing System gantry can be re-used (rather than replaced) and undertaking suitable modifications to the paved surfaces, instrument landing system, approach and ground lighting and associated ancillary work. 3. To agree that only infrastructural works to be carried out shall be those that are necessary to enable the works described in the above Propositions to be completed. 4. To agree that the capital costs of the works described in the above Propositions shall be taken from capital reserves and that those costs shall be re-couped by way of service charges and to direct the Committee for Economic Development to revert to the States by the end of the year with proposals for suitable service charges.
