    nice pic,but what i am seeing is the angle where the photographer was standing is not covering enough ground,if the shot was taken from that small hill across from the runway,then the terminal and a wider section of the airport and runway would have given the photo a lot more depth,or maybe a shot from the sky would have displayed more.

    Mr Letang you can go to Aircraft Photo Search Engine, after you enter the website and go to (select country). There are a few photos of Melville Airport posted on there but they are very very old photos. It would be nice to see some recent photos there. Thanks in advance if possible.

    Mr Elton Letang I am sure that you monitor the responses written about any of your photos, so I’m sure you will check this one.

    It would be nice if you could keep taking photos of the airport and the various airlines which land at Melville Hall and have them posted on this website, specifically featuring Dominica. The website is http://www.jetphotos.net. You can check it out yourself.

    Isn’t time the govt of dominica build an international airport. my god that country is so damn backwards it is down right disgusting. There are smaller islands in the region that is doing much better than this. Wake up people and smell the damn coffee.

      Yeah, you “felt safer” because you landed in pitch darkness. You will feel the same way even if you land in a huge international airport. false security!
