Samuel Johnson, the CEO of the International Airport Development Company, recently shared updates on the ongoing airport project for the Commonwealth of Dominica.
Covering a vast area of 22000 square meters, this project holds promise for boosting tourism in the region once it’s completed.
Key attention is being paid to Runway 15, which, due to wind patterns, is identified as the primary spot for aircraft takeoffs and landings. Presently, efforts are concentrated on clearing and preparing this section before advancing to complete the entire runway.
“The runway is designed to enable landing and takeoff in both directions and because of the winds, we expect 95% of the time your landing will be from runway 15,” he stated.
