A runway for Gozo

Why should Gozitans be disadvantaged compared with those who live or work in Malta? For instance, why should a waiter in a Gozo hotel earn some €250 less a month than his counterpart in Malta?

What is the government doing to create job opportunities in Gozo?

For a long time we have been talking about building an airstrip in Gozo to accommodate light aircraft carrying passengers to and from the island. Some say that this is because the Gozitans do not want it, but this is not true, because we are all in favour of initiatives which create jobs in the long run.

Most jobs in Gozo are in the tourism industry, and one good way to bring tourists here is by providing a good and reliable service between the two islands.

Whenever the Prime Minister used to be asked about this, he would always reply that once the Gozitans and the Gozo Business Chamber and the Hotels and Restaurants Association agree with the building of a runway, it would be taken in hand straight away.

But what is the real reason for the delay? Those who are against this venture should stand up and let us know why.
