I refer to the letter by Franco J. Scicluna titled Serious Inter-island Air Service (July 25).

The Gozo Business Chamber has always been, and still is, in favour of an airlink between the two islands.

The Chamber is worried that no air service is in force at present because this is detrimental to Gozo's economy.

The recent presentation about the airlink made by Roy Perry, in conjunction with the Gozo Business Chamber, was made with the aim of creating more awareness of the great need for an early decision by the relevant authorities. The Chamber is of the opinion that the airlink should be serviced by small fixed-wing planes. We also hope that the proposal presented in the Pre-Budget Document by the Ministry of Finance, the Economy and Investment to "study effective ways for reintroducing a reliable air transport service to and from Gozo" will result in concrete action in the shortest time possible.

Joseph G. Grech, CEO, Gozo Business Chamber, Victoria
