Jersey Airport Transfers
Taxi
A public taxi rank is available immediately in front of the Arrivals Terminal. Public taxis are meter controlled. Pre-booked cabs can be found in a designated area to the rear of the arrivals car park.
There are three rate tariffs which may be applied by both pre-booked cabs and public rank taxis, depending on the time and day:
- Tariff 1 – Monday - Saturday, 07:00 am to 00:11 pm any day of the week after 07:00 am and before 11:00 pm.
- Tariff 2 – Monday - Saturday, 00:11 pm to 07:00 am; all day Sunday and Public Holidays
- Tariff 3 - Christmas Eve through to Boxing Day, 07:00 pm to 07:00 am and from 07:00 pm on New Year’s Eve until 07:00 am on 2nd January.
These tariffs are set for all trips from a designated rank; rates may vary for pre-booked journeys by private cab. Passengers are recommended to confirm the tariff when making their reservation.
Commuters can expect to pay approximately £15 for a taxi to St Helier (based on tariff 1). When a journey is pre-booked, an additional charge above the taxi-cab tariff may be charged, especially in case of an early in the morning or late at night. There is no supplement or luggage charge. Travelers should note that all taxis can accept electronic payment and must offer this service by law.
The number of public taxis available at the airport can be restricted, especially during busy periods. Therefore, passengers may prefer to pre-book a cab to meet them upon arrival at Jersey Airport.

Border Force Once passengers landed at Jersey Airport, they will be expected to pass through the passport control area. These methods involve a check of the passport or other identification documentation as well as the evidence of travelers’ right to travel into the country. Border Force manages the passport control area, and passengers are advised to have their passport or identity card ready, which includes its removal from a holder or wallet, and have it open on the page with a photo. Travelers should remove their sunglasses as well as any headwear and stay from using any mobile device. Baggage reclaim Checked luggage can be collected from the carousel in the Baggage Reclaim area. If the bag or suitcase doesn’t come out of the carousel, passengers will have to contact their airline and talk to the baggage handling administrators.
The 1937 terminal was constructed with a control tower between the arrivals and departures areas. The building was extended in 1976. A new departures terminal adjoining the current terminal was opened in 1997. A new air traffic control tower was finished and opened in late 2010, and all primary airport operations have been shifted to these new buildings. Work was expected to start late 2011 to demolish the original airport building built in 1937 and which contains large amounts of asbestos. Still, work was never undertaken as the building was chosen as a protected historical building. Ultimately, on 17 March 2014, it was decided on the grounds of aviation security, that the old building would have to be demolished. Jersey represents a part of the Common Travel Area, which means that there are limited identity card checks before boarding a flight to the U.K. or Ireland. A full passport check takes place when traveling to or from other countries.
