Earlier this week, the President Martelly went to the Toussaint Louverture International Airport of Port-au-Prince in order to check the progress of the rehabilitation work of departure and arrival halls, damaged in January 2010.

The engineer Gilbert Hypolitte of Panexus Construction, a Haitian firm, explained "...one of the first things, we rehabilitate so that the structure is reinforced [...] we use very modern method of repair and strengthening, for example we use epoxy products much more resistant than concrete, that allow us for example, that when we repair cracks, they no longer open [...] This project is done in several phases [...] but I can tell you that we are working to deliver the arrival and departure halls on December 15, 2011 [...]"

"We want less talking and more concrete things like this work. And that's what we're doing," declared the President Martelly.

All the rehabilitation work of the airport should be completed in February 2012.
