We have again been reading about the feasibility or otherwise of an airstrip for Gozo. In my opinion this can never be feasible since it will be expensive.

Moreover, when Maltese go for weekends to Gozo they take several items with them and we cannot expect them to take these on a plane.

Yet to commute to and from Gozo by ferry one needs two to three hours each way, that is, four to six hours, which is a bit crazy especially for people who come to work in Malta and need to commute every day.

In my opinion, the only feasible solution is a bridge, with one rigid proviso: namely that Mepa be prohibited from issuing developing permits that might spoil the beauty of the island.

If development is strictly controlled, then a bridge would solve the insularity of the island, with all its related problems, the main being employment and tourism.
