it's sad to witness the evidence of decline in the Port area. 50 years ago, nobody in Freeport knew what a power failure was.

will we ever live to see the day when protectionist policies, won't be how our businesses exist?

this wasn't known when the port was designed and built? ports are multi-decade projects not 2 or 3 years so surely they should have known where the industry was headed, more lack of planning or lack of vision.

Thank God for the Privy Council and some sane rulings ... you know what to expect unfortunately once we go the republic route.

Socrates says...

this is all very nice but who exactly is this US organization that seems to prefer bahamians for recognition? is this some kind of PR group? nothing against Sir Franklyn, who I think deserves his honours, but it's just curious.

Socrates says...

I think it's intellectually dishonest to compare to NAD. NAD is a company in its own right but the island airports are govt owned so taxes should be picking up most of the cost consistent with the socialist economic policies we follow.

Socrates says...

it has all the looks of a scam.. first they force you to the machine by charging you to enter the bank. now if you miss and press the wrong number they will rip you off with a fee for that. we should be on the streets demonstrating...

Socrates says...

I’m sure govt has someone there ‘managing’ the airport.. you have to ask how the ‘manager’ wasn’t aware of this deterioration and why it takes a private airline to tell them what they already should have known. Just asking’

An appalling abuse of power. I wonder who knows someone who has family/friends in Jamaica? This use of Bahamasair like some kind of private jet service when it sucks tens of millions out of taxpayers each year has to stop. These are parental responsibilities.

Socrates says...

I would venture to say that except for nassau, freeport, ábaco and exuma probably all the island airport are in similar state. like director said, they cant maintain them.
