Roy Perry’s Talking Point A Showcase Gateway To Gozo (October 2) really makes me wonder how much longer the government is going to wait to take action and to take the idea of a Gozo-Malta-Gozo air link very seriously.

I do not know how many letters have been written over the past six years, how many meetings were held and how many hours have been spent on several surveys, how many hours were spent by overseas professional companies who submitted detailed proposals to help the government get started.

From personal experience I can vouch that tourism started to blossom when air links were created to many of the smaller islands in East Africa and the Seychelles where I worked for many years when tourism needed a real positive push.

I was able to see amazing results.

Mr Perry quite rightly mentions that the air link here would be with smaller aircraft – no larger aircraft would be allowed and no mass influx would be possible.

Mr Perry has studied all possibilities for years with great professionalism and they all make great sense, especially since he is also very much interested in keeping the environment on the highest level.
