Located in the parish of Forest, on the southern side of the island, Guernsey Airport (GCI) was founded in 1946 and recently modernised, with a new terminal opening in 2004. The airport stands around 5 km / 3 miles from Saint Peter Port, the island's capital, being connected by Island Coachways buses and various taxi firms.
