Gozo Rural Airfield Extensions Approved By PA

Gozo Rural Airfield Extensions Approved By PA
Oct 10 2024 Share

The Planning Authority has approved the Gozo Rural Airfield project, proposed by the Ministry for Gozo and Planning.

This project was an electoral promise by the Labour party, emphasising the importance of improving connectivity between Gozo and Malta.

Minister Clint Camilleri explained that the project aims not only to enhance transport links but also to create new economic opportunities in sectors previously untapped by Gozo.

‘These initiatives are expected to generate high-quality jobs and align with the Gozo Regional Development Strategy, involving various stakeholders’, a statement outlining the approval explains.

The minister stressed that environmental considerations are a key aspect of the project, with mitigation measures planned to minimise both visual impact and noise from airfield activities.

The Gozo Rural Airfield project will not involve the use of virgin or agricultural land. Instead, it will extend the existing runway on land previously allocated for development when Local Plans were revised in 2006.

The site had been misused for construction waste dumping. No new buildings will be added, but the existing structure, previously used for helicopter services, will be renovated.

This project represents a step towards improving Gozo’s connectivity while respecting environmental concerns and creating new economic avenues.

In a video message released on Thursday, Rafael Nadal announced his retirement from professional tennis, saying, “I am here to let you know I am retiring from professional tennis.”

He acknowledged the challenges of recent years, stating, “The reality is that it has been some difficult years, especially the last two. I don’t think I have been able to play without limitations.”

Nadal steps away from the sport as the second-most successful men’s singles player in history, trailing only his long-time rival Novak Djokovic.
