PM announces upcoming ‘massive mobilization’ on international airport for Dominica, completion by 2026

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has announced that massive mobilization will take place on the construction site of the International Airport later this year.

He made the announcement while speaking as a guest on Focus on Government and Development program last night.

According to the Prime Minister, he is confident that the International Airport will be constructed in Dominica.

The one billion dollar contract for the much-talked-about international airport project was signed between the Government of Dominica and Montreal Management Consultant Establishment (MMCE) on June 9, 2021 signaling the official commencement.

“So later this year you will see massive mobilization taking place,” Prime Minister Skerrit said. “You will certainly see earth movement towards the end of this year, but certainly in the first quarter of 2023. You will see serious earth movement on site.”

He pointed out that when people heard about the signing of a construction contract with China Railway No.5 Engineering Group Co. Ltd, “CR5” they were a bit confused, “as we’ve explained this international airport is being done in partnership with MMCE as the developer.”

“It is MMCE that will enter into a contract with the contractor, because the risk and the liabilities are with MMCE and not the Treasury of Dominica, because we have no sovereign guarantee on this contract,” he explained. “ It is MMCE that has to raise the funds, [and] utilize the CBI Program to finance the construction of the airport and this is one of the most amazing ways that we have been able to advance our project.”

He made it clear that current and future generations don’t have to pay for a multi-million dollar project.

“So this is what happened, there was a final signing of a construction contract within CR5 and MMCE,” he stated.

Skerrit explained that CR5 has been mobilized and has been in Dominica for the last eight months.

He mentioned also that some improvements have been made to the master plan.

“We made some changes to the design of the terminal building and it will be an international airport that you will see nowhere in the Caribbean,” he stated.

He revealed that a health centre will also be placed on site.

Prime Minister Skerrit said it is expected that the international airport will come to completion towards the end of 2026.

Upon completion, he said Dominicans will have a modern International Airport, equipped with air bridges, and fully outfitted to receive international passengers and cargo.

    @Man bite dogs, how quickly you have forgotten that the same Skerritt spoke about using 40 foot containers to serve for the international airport buildings. Go figure before you spew your hyper-partisian useless nonsense. You are nothing but a blind follower.

    There is nothing unusual or suspicious about a general contractor (MMCE) hiring a sub contractor (CR5). That is standard operating procedure on a construction project. What is strange to me is that the general contractor is responsible for raising the funds to make the project feasible. What?! Is MMCE taking a financial interest in our airport? If so, what are the terms? The PM needs to explain that.

    I recall that in recent month a small regional airport in the eastern part of the EU was opened. Nothing fancy but for sure better then anything we have in the Caribbean. This ‘regional’ airport, wait for it, ended up costing just over 2 billion Euros. That of course begs the question now, how Skerrit can have a ‘state of the art’ international airport built for 1 billion dollars. I suggest MMCE and CR5 from now on will be commissioned to built state of the art airport all over the world. All you understand were I’m coming from? Something very very fishy about this project which by the way is pie in the sky in my opinion, not least for the above mentioned reasons.

    We will not pay the Chinese contractor but MMCE will, so who will own the airport Roosevelt? You say it will be financed thru CBI. Is that from money already held overseas or perhaps you have agreed to supply MMCE with blank passports for them to sell because there is nothing for nothing in this world is there Roosevelt. That would also solve the problem of getting money into the country thru the banking system, wouldn’t it Roosevelt. I just don’t like the smell of this deal partner because it looks like we end up with no control over our own assets. Africa all over again.

    Ha, Ha, Ha. Skeritt, the money does not add up. How in this day and age can you expect to build a modern airport for $1 billion EC dollars? That is only about $372 million US dollars. That is hardly enough to build an airstrip much less a state of the art airport envisage by the PM of Fantasy Island.

    I still don’t understand the need to build another a white elephant in Dominica. The Melville Airport is more than adequate for modern “smaller” jets that do not need a 10,000 foot runway for flight operations. With Dominica’s miniscule population it would take a 100+ years to amortize a minimum debt of $1 billion it would take to build this phantom airport. (Can someone translate into D/ca patois?)

    Wow. incredible..
    Who will be able to travel from here and who will travel to here via the phantom airport. i say phantom because that is all it is still..just talk. the only people who will be capable of travel already have their own personal air transport. much is to occur between now and 2026..hold on take a very very deep breath and remember only the one Father. because in the moments ahead..in the moments ahead..

    Hope you are all paying attention. because these people do not play games. these people are EXTREMELY serious people. and you are not part of their plans

    It appears that this liar has now completely outsourced the sale of Dominican passports to MMCE, a company which is rumoured to be half owned by himself and the other half by his friend Haiden. Furthermore, it begs another question, who will be the owner of this airport and who will be running it if and when it is finally completed? What does the PM mean when he states that CR5 has been mobilised? The word mobilise is generally used in military jargon. Are we about to be occupied by the Chinese. I urge Dominicans to be very careful and think. This entire project sounds more strange by the minute and I do not only smell a fat financial rat. Be very careful, this man would sell his mother for a dollar and rest assured he has no hesitation to sell Dominica for 2 dollars. This CM needs to be rejected in the next election. Talking about election, why don’t we hear from Byron, what has happened to electoral reform???

    “He said Dominicans will have a modern International Airport, “equipped with air bridges”

    That is what I was hoping we will have at our new airport, because my disability that prevents me from walking up and down of steps, like those of most airplanes, and especially that I must use a walker–like so many people my age.

    So I am glad that our new airport will be designed with that privilege to simply walk to and from the airplane, the same as it is in Toronto.

    May the Will of Almighty God be done for us, the hopefuls of Dominica, at His appointed time–no earlier, no later; and for His glory alone.

    The unbelievers will continue to raw through their hopelessness until their tongues drop off; for they have no control against what God has planned for His people–that is for sure.

    DNO, Can you please research the Hansard record in Parliament. I remember the Prime Minister saying that his administration was putting aside money each month for the construction of the International Airport.

    Now he is saying MMCE is responsible using CBI funds. Can someone explain why is a foreign company have full access to money that belongs to the Dominican people? Something is seriously wrong with this picture.

    ADMIN: The Prime Minister has come out publicly and claimed that the money was diverted to deal with the unexpected COVID-19 pandemic.

Gason Anthony Hayden must be saying to himself that Dominicans so brainless that they our school system is useless.
    I mean if Skerrit is so serious about building international airport why in a cabinet of so many greedy and corrupt ministers not busy buying properties from Marigot all the way down to Bense? Why none of them or their cronies not buying now to build hotels, guess house, supermarkets ? I leave in the US and any time there is anysiign of development you start seeing developers buying land.even if it’s a school that’s coming. International airport coming and no greedy and corrupt ministers buying land? Awa papa we have bee fooled so long that being a fool seems natural now

    Anyways when I will see a functioning Ross University with at least 800 medical students and at least 25% of Nationals eat bread from that new Ross you have been lying about then I will start to think of a possible international airport. Unless I see Ross every damn statement of international airport will continue to remind me of our lands you’ve taken from us and building for CBI passport holders. In fact it reminds of an article Angelo Allene use to play during a passport question and answer session you held I think is in China and a journalist ask you where will you put CBI passport holders to stay seeing Dominica is small. You answer was Dominicans are nice and they would accommodate CBI holders. What you didn’t say is Dominicans are not smart and you would blindfold them and take their land from them as a Plantation owner

    This type of journalism by DNO, just printing verbatim what is uttered by Roosevelt and his sycophantic ministers, is aiding in the disintegration of our democracy.

    This most recent utterance about an international airport by a blatantly opportunistic tyrant is just another tired replay of his empty promises.

    Why does DNO fail to remind the public that this very promise has been repeated for close to an eternity by this same despot who is well renowned for fakery.

    Roosevelt realises that the trust of the ignorant is his most useful tool. He therefore unleash his lies knowing fully well that his most devoted news outlets would disseminate them in the public domain without questioning the authenticity of his hefty whoppers.

        Supreme leaders have plenty of money soaked in the blood of the people.

        Members, and supporters of the UWP do have any blood money hidden in plastic bags buried under their house eh!
        But ah think ah know a certain fellow in Dominica with blood money hiding, in a hole under his house, look under his bed there you shall find the entrance to his money pit.
        But, you have to dive in plenty of blood to find that money.

        He’s a thief and a murderer eh!

        Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

        DS, you are spot on in referring to Roosevelt as the Supreme Leader.

        The man is the Supreme Leader in corruption, lies, dishonesty, victimisation, oppression, repression, suppression, destruction, darkness, questionable accumulation of wealth, promoting and rewarding mediocrity, self interest, arrogance, repetition of ‘arm’.

        This questionable character has a loose allegiance to the truth. His staggering ineptitude has the country tethering on the brink of total economic collapse.

          He has to be the Supreme Leader of something, otherwise, he is not a Supreme Leader. All those who dreamed of Lennox Linton becoming the next PM of Dominica, well, I do empathize and sympathize with you. Remember what I have been saying for years and has now come to fruition, not on this earth, not on the next one will he ugly Lenny become PM of Dominica. You can say that I am a good tarrot reader. Not carrot but tarrot. Not Handbag but trash bag.

    Boy Boy Boy” I don’t know if to laugh or to cry because , Skerrro has given us so many airports not even Florida can compete with us. This is another Hot Stone to hold while we enjoy the Independence season. This is one of those speeches skerro give when we have many foreigners in the land. It will not fool me one bit. You hear lie? That is Lie! 3 years to build a masterpiece. SMH.

      How many has UWP given you? None but bulldust when they were in power. If I were you I would do both at the same time, laugh and cry. Did you laugh and cry for your fallen hero, your unsung hero, Lennox Linton?

    “We made some changes to the design of the terminal building and it will be an international airport that you will see nowhere in the Caribbean,” he stated.
    If the design of said airport is like the “New Roseau,” that was supposed to be the envy of the Caribbean, then we have a sigh to behold.
    He made it clear that current and future generations don’t have to pay for a multi-million dollar project.
    So, if sovereign funds from the CBI Program is being utilized to help finance this project, are we not paying to finance it now? So basically, Montreal Management is using our CBI Funds to finance the project, put it in service for x-number of years, and then handing it over to the people of Dominica after they’re realized their profit??

      What has happened to the contract of this very same airport that was signed by Roosevelt and Anthony Haden with much public fanfare?

    “You will certainly see earth movement towards the end of this year, but certainly in the first quarter of 2023. You will see serious earth movement on site.” Skerrit is highly educated and stoked in the “English Language,” so his statement must impress the simple-minded as well as the more sophisticated amongst us. At this point, when I see heavy equipment moving earth and they can be verified, I will believe it. This entire press release, is an exercise in foolery and chicanery.
    It is MMCE that has to raise the funds, [and] utilize the CBI Program to finance the construction of the airport and this is one of the most amazing ways that we have been able to advance our project.”

      What is Roosevelt afraid of? Instead of press releases, why not live press conferences and face the music from bona fide journalists?

      Mr. Ismael, Roosevelt is not bright. His press releases are scripts written by highly paid speech writers and handed to him. Listen to him speak without a prepared script. He sounds incoherent repeating the word ‘arm’ after every few words he utters.

    Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit says, “It is MMCE that will enter into a contract with the contractor, because the risk and the liabilities are with MMCE and not the Treasury of Dominica, because we have no sovereign guarantee on this contract,” he explained. “It is MMCE that has to raise the funds, [and] utilize the CBI Program to finance the construction of the airport and this is one of the most amazing ways that we have been able to advance our project.”
    That is if there is a CBI programme in the coming years to raise these funds. We all know that CBI is under scrutiny for terrorism, fraud, corruption and money laundering by the international community! So what happens if CBI does not and cannot raise these funds?
