Air service to Gonave with no runway? / Sèvis lè yo Gonave ki pa gen okenn pist?

Gonave has a dirt runway that would not be strong enough for larger aircraft to land.  Given that constructing a runway, and terminal could cost several million dollars, it wouldn't be something that would be immediately feasible.  Even a small scale, bare bones airport with a single 7,500 ft runway and a tiny 20,000 sq ft terminal would be at least $50 million.  So what is the alternative?

As you know I like to find a cheaper way to do things that actually work.  When I was in Seattle this weekend I saw many seaplanes.  Many of these planes were small Cessna type craft, and not like the larger plane you see above.  Given the unique circumstances at Gonave, having a seaplane that takes off from Miami, or Haiti, makes for a more practical choice.  Funny that the above plane based out of Vancouver, Canada are the colors of the potential Gonave Flag.  I personally would have a yellow sun in the middle of the tail.

The above aircraft would be the perfect size to start tourist runs to and from Gonave.  You need just a standard boat dock to load and unload passengers.  You also of course need the aircraft, and boom!  You have an airline that is functioning on Gonave for the fraction of what would be the cost of landing on land.

Go Gonave!

Gonave gen yon pist pousyè tè ki pa ta dwe fò ase pou pi gwo avyon nan peyi . Etandone ke konstwi yon pist , ak tèminal yo te ka koute plizyè milyon dola, li pa ta dwe yon bagay ki ta dwe imedyatman posib. Menm yon echèl piti, zo fè ayewopò ak yon sèl 7,500 pist pye ak yon tèminal ti pye 20,000 sq ta dwe omwen $ 50 milyon dola. Se konsa, sa se ​​altènatif la?
Kòm ou konnen mwen renmen jwenn yon fason pi bon mache fè bagay sa yo ki aktyèlman travay. Lè m 'te nan Seattle fen semèn sa a, mwen wè te gen anpil idravyon . Anpil nan avyon sa yo te ti navèt di ki kalite Cessna , epi yo pa renmen avyon an pi gwo ou wè pi wo a. Bay sikonstans inik nan Gonave , li te gen yon idravyon ki pran koupe soti nan Miami, oswa Ayiti, fè pou yon chwa plis pratik . Komik ki avyon an pi wo a ki baze soti nan Vancouver, Kanada yo se koulè yo nan potansyèl Gonave drapo an. Mwen pèsonèlman ta gen yon solèy jòn nan mitan an nan dèyè nèt.
Avyon ki anwo la a ta dwe gwosè a pafè yo kòmanse kouri touris pou ale ak pou soti nan Gonave . Ou bezwen jis yon waf estanda bato yo chaje e dechaje pasaje. Ou menm tou nan kou bezwen avyon an , ak boom ! Ou gen yon avyon ki ap fonksyone sou Gonave pou fraksyon nan sa ki ta pri a nan ateri sou tè.
Ale Gonave !

La Gonave could serve as the template for all of Haiti

Image
La Gonave has an opportunity to do it right the first time.  Meaning that if the right people get involved and their goal is to help the Haitians to help themselves, then La Gonave could serve as the template for Haiti. La Gonave has many advantages over the mainland.  For one, with a smaller population the needs of food, housing, water, etc are less, so programs that are developed could easy cover this small population.  La Gonave is a blank canvas, so streets can be placed based on results that other cities around the world have tried.  La Gonave can build it's economy on just about any industry, although tourism and agriculture are probably the prime industries.  The list goes on and on. My point is that if done correctly, and La Gonave is a modern and vibrant place.  If La Gonave could have the majority of it's population literate, and that there are enough schools for every child.  If La Gonave could have a strong economy similar to the Baham...

Carnival Cruise to build port in Haiti/Carnival Cruise yo bati pò an Ayiti

I remember early on when writing this blog, I stated that Gonave should have a cruise company build a port in Gonave, and it would be a major boost to Gonave's economy.  I was told by a local group who wants to turn Gonave into its own country, that I was incorrect.  They said cruise companies don't build ports and that the local municipality has to do that.  Of course that is incorrect!   I knew this because once taking a cruise myself Carnival mentioned they built a port in Cuba and are waiting for the US to overturn somethings so that cruises from America to Cuba can happen.  So again Gonave, be sure you know who you are listening to, and what their goals are.  Here at Let's Build Gonave Haiti, we have a core group that does research before we speak. With that said, Carnival is building a port in Northern Haiti.  Check out the information here .  Now some feel cruise companies take the profits back to their home countries.  While that i...

Flag of Gonave?

Image
I created the image below.  I will explain why I choose the colors I choose. So three basic color were chosen to represent the future island nation of Gonave, which are yellow, sky blue, and green. I did research on flags, and why colors should be chosen, what colors shouldn't be put on a flag, the meaning of colors, how not to over complicate a flag, and make sure that a made can easily be remember by school age kids. So here it is, and I will explain the colors. First off, the green portion of the flag represents the green lush vegetation of the island.  It also means a land rich with fertile soil which provides the energy of it's people. The blue portion represents the bright skys over the island of Gonave.  The color is a sky blue, which shows a cloudless day, one with no storms, but of a clear day.  It also means that the sky is the limit.  Finally yellow represents the sun.  The sun is shining on a lush green nation on a cloudless day,...
