Let's Build Gonave, Haiti!

I wrote a blog on this topic several times.  I even mentioned how initially an airline could be a seaplane , due to the expense of building an actual runway.  While Gonave does have a dirt runway, it isn't always reliable due to it's size, condition, and the fact that it is made from dirt. A newer runway could be constructed that would allow very small planes to connect to Port-au-Prince.  Cessna Caravans would prove vital for Gonave success.  First off these planes are very affordable, with a price often around $1 million US.  Moreover, these planes are used by FedEx in smaller cities to fly packages in and out.  So not only is the aircraft affordable, it can also be used as a cargo plane.  Moreover, airlines have used the aircraft for passenger service.  New Mexico Airlines use these planes to fly passengers in state. Given the small amount of runway needed, cost, versatility, and reliability, a Cessna Caravan makes perfect sense. (see imag...

Another example of a seaplane using just a small dock. This plane is from the Maldives, which is very similar to Gonave. Again if you look at the dock that is constructed, it doesn't cost millions to do this.  A thriving resort and tourist economy could be done on Gonave, which would build and be the life line of the island. Go Gonvae! --------------------------- Yon lòt egzanp sou yon idravyon lè l sèvi avèk jis yon ti waf Avyon sa a se soti nan Maldives yo , ki se trè menm jan ak Gonave . Yon lòt fwa ankò si ou gade nan waf la ki konstwi, li pa koute dè milyon fè sa. Te kapab yon resort pwospere ak ekonomi touris dwe fè sou Gonave , ki ta bati yo epi yo dwe liy lan lavi nan zile la. Ale Gonvae !
