People are being asked to use the main car park instead.
The bus stop and taxi ranks have been temporarily relocated.
'Passengers, business partners, and terminal users should follow any instructions from airport staff on-site while this incident is being dealt with,' a spokesman said.
The turntable ladder from the Guernsey Fire and Rescue Service is being brought so that the panelling can be fixed before the forecourt can be reopened.
They helped in a similar way when the roof was damaged by wind in January.
The wind is currently a southerly force 6 with the highest gust in the last hour being 41mph.
