New Airport for Guernsey?
Should we as one airline pilot has suggested, build a new airport at Chouet headland and not have the size limitations or poor weather problems of the current one.

Yes, we should invest wisely now for the future of the island.


No, just spend the minimum amount now on the existing airport.
