Waste of time.
this skerrit administration is just a teaser talk talk talk
how can you close the hospital next to the marigot airport.
Dear South City man or woman,
Why are u all people so bashful in this country, what u want to say is better than what u are saying, come on man speak up,
1 there must be land to site the Airport, 2 the UWP bought the land for millions of dollars in 1998, your govt. came in 2000 they gave back the land to the original owners and then go and spend $ 2m to refurbish Melville to say that they have night landing to date the Melville hall airport is a big mess,
Who laugh last laugh the best
And the following delegates arrived by ferry:…………
11:00 – 12:00
“Development of a Floating Airport in the Caribbean”
Terry Drinkard, Engineer, UTC Aerospace Systems, Foley, Alabama, USA
Finally the answer to our Airport problems. Just float one in Portsmouth Harbour & Bye-Bye Canefield / Melville Hall.
I dont think it would work.
the valley between dablotin, and morne aux diable would act as a wind funnel.
de horse has already left de stable!!!
better late than never!
Recently i saw that the newly proposed jet charter service from Florida has been postponed indefinitely.
Apparently our airport is lacking equipment and machinery to service de airline while on ground at de airport.
so now we having a conference to assess our state of de art airport with nigh landing facility to find out what we have and what we missing.
this is our reactionary government at work.
Unless we can have a proper Airport, I don’t think we should host that conference. We are just spitting in our faces by doing that. Many years with changes of Governments from DFP, UWP, DLP and no one has built a proper Aiport. Shame on our past and present Governments.
The UWP government did significant work on the development of a jet airport. The DLP cancelled all that and decided to stay with melville hall aka Douglas Charles and Canefield aka Dame Eugenia Frenchie Skerrit
South City this conference is being held at the right time if we had a full functioning airport that is the time we did not need this conference at least this way all personnel involved felt what it is like to land in Dominica and the need for improvement .
Do not look at the glass as half empty but as half full .
