New Date Announced for the Closure of the John A. Osborne Airport
A new date has been announced for the closure of the John A. Osborne Airport.
Minister for Communications, Works, Energy and Labour Dr., the Honourable Samuel Joseph told ZJB news on Friday that the airport would now be closed from March 22nd to the 31st.
This he says is due to a delay by the contractor, Surrey Paving and Aggregate Ltd, headquartered in Jamaica.
Meanwhile, Head of the Programme Management Office Martin Parlett provides more details on the delay.

Originally, it was reported that the airport would close from February 16th to 25th.
The project comes under the CIPREG programme and would involve the resurfacing of the 600m runway and taxiway at the John A. Osborne Airport.
It would also improve friction performance and ensure continued regulatory compliance for air access operations.
