Plans to remove the top two floors of the arrivals hall at Jersey Airport for safety reasons have been put forward.
Airport authorities said the floors were beyond economical repair and asbestos cladding had to removed from them.
If approved, work would start in the autumn and would be expected to finish in time for next year’s summer season.
The authorities said the airport would continue operating as normal with no disruption to the people who use it.
Under international safety laws, the building is too close to the runway and causes an obstruction and authorities said this work would go some way to addressing the safety concerns.
The air traffic control offices were housed there, but are moving to a newly-built tower.

A project to remove thousands of tonnes of asbestos from the former Calder Hall nuclear power station in Cumbria has been successfully completed.
Described as one of the largest projects of its kind in Europe, the project saw 2,300 tonnes of asbestos cladding removed at a cost of £26m.
Work began two years after Calder Hall was shut down in 2003.
It was the world’s first civilian nuclear power station and was opened by the Queen in October 1956.
