Haiti - Reconstruction : Update on airport infrastructures
08/07/2012 11:03:51

On Friday, the Prime Minister, Laurent Lamothe made Friday a visit to the local airport Guy Malary "...you know that we work and that we will finish at the end of the month, the arrival hall of the Toussaint Louverture International Airport. Now we have come to the airport Guy Malary to see if we can quickly arrange it [...] it is important to work on all airport structures [...] because if we want real decentralization, we must have airports that are acceptable and capable of taking the traffic from the province and that we are proud of our airports.

As we see, the current state of the airport, it's not how I would like to see our country, so we came with the Director General [...] to arrange airport Guy Malary. If you go to any country in the world, in Dominican Republic for example, you will see they have a set of airports in good condition. Here we are in the capital and it is the airport to serve the provinces, and its facilities are in a state of disrepair [...] we have already made a series of studies to see how we're going to renovate it [...] There are studies that have to be finished, then work will begin. I focus to make start the works, so that the airport is ready quickly. We saw the University of Limonade, in 8 months they [the Dominicans] made a big university, so this little airport, we must do it quickly. This is not something that will cost a lots of money and the funds are already available.

In Cap Haitien, the work is progressing well, two things must be done before October 5, 2012 (date of opening of Caracol Industrial Park). We need to fix the bridge Hyppolite and we have to finish the track [...] I went to watch yesterday, and they work hard on the track, I'm happy and satisfied with the work. Now, it is important that we begin to rebuild our country, the objective is to mobilize everyone to watch what happens and continue to encourage the work being done.

The message for tourists and investors, is that we have just invested $5 million in urban renewal in Cap-Haitien, almost all roads of Cap are repaired and there is more security. We will invest $40 million in Jacmel, for this city can welcome tourists. Also, we will renovate the airport of Jacmel, Port de Paix and Jérémie [...] for Les Cayes, we reflect, it will be a partnership with the private, while we will do other airports by ourselves.

Everyone can feel another energy in the country and I think everyone also feels that the Government is a Government that works, makes every effort, to succeed in landing its strategies..."
