Alderney’s Excellent Travel Connections

Easy Access to the UK and Beyond

One of Alderney’s greatest advantages for residents is its excellent connectivity to the UK, mainland Europe and neighbouring Channel Islands. Despite its peaceful island lifestyle, Alderney remains highly accessible, offering the perfect balance between seclusion and convenience. Regular flights link Alderney Airport to Southampton and Guernsey, putting major UK cities and international airports within easy reach.

Frequent Flights, Private Travel and Efficient Connections

Aurigny, the island’s trusted local airline, provides multiple daily flights for both business and leisure travel. Southampton Airport, only a 45-minute flight away, offers fast onward links by rail or motorway into central London. In addition to scheduled flights, Alderney Airport also welcomes private planes and helicopters, giving residents and visitors further flexibility and direct access when required.

Connectivity by Sea

Alderney is also accessible by sea, with seasonal passenger ferry services connecting the island to Guernsey and France. Braye Harbour, picturesque and welcoming, is a year-round gateway for yachts and leisure boats. Regular freight services from Poole and Guernsey ensure reliable deliveries and essential supplies throughout the year.

Island Living with Easy Reach to Mainland

Living on Alderney means enjoying outstanding travel connections without losing the island’s unique charm. Residents benefit from the best of both worlds—relaxed island living, with the confidence that the UK and mainland Europe are always within easy reach.
