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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

we have a big spend government in a country with limitrd resources.. what ese do you expect but aggressuve tax collection and mob style tactics to let you know what to expect if your paperwork is wrong.

This case is only major news because it involves a US citizen. the americans go around the world as they do because most times they dont trust ocal authorities. they even go so far as to kidnap leaders of countries like noreiga a few years back. so its the way it is.
