Jersey Airport is located in the parish of Saint Peter in Jersey, one of the British Crown dependencies in the Channel Islands.
Air service to Jersey before 1937 consisted of biplane airliners and some seaplanes landing on the beach at Saint Aubin's Bay. Jersey Airways and Imperial Airways were among those who operated to the island before the war, but conditions were difficult as timetables were governed by tides.
It was also difficult to prevent members of the public from walking across the landing area, and any aircraft, which had mechanical problems had to be dragged up the slipways until the tide receded.
