Before the present airport opened in 1937, air transport was through seaplanes, which landed at West Park in St Helier. The first aeroplane to land in Jersey was the Sanchez Besa in August 1912. The first passenger flight was recorded as taking place 147 years earlier through air balloon.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Aviation in Jersey - theislandwiki|url=https://www.theislandwiki.org/index.php/Aviation_in_Jersey|access-date=2020-12-12|website=www.theislandwiki.org}}</ref>
