A tunnel to link Malta and Gozo, as suggested recently by a businessman, must be preferred to an airport, which would be a waste of land unless it is like Gibraltar’s.
The late Bro. Leo Barrington, principal of the Teachers’ College at St Julians, had made the same suggestion, arguing that a tunnel would be cheaper to maintain than a bridge. May I add that in inclement weather it would be safer too.
This proposal should not be shelved again but studied as it is a constructive one.
