Why are We Letting hundreds of MiLLions of doLLars sLip through our fingers?
THE PEOPLE’S PAPER reveals how the former PLP Minister of Aviation & Transport allowed Foreign Airlines, U.S. Private Planes & Cargo Carriers to use our airspace ‘FREE OF CHARGE’ for years. Since 1973, every & Government has delegated authority to U.S. Federal Aeronautical Admin. (FAA) to provide high-altitude Air- Route Traffic Control (ATC) to our nation. In 2009, the FAA started AIRCRAFT FLIGHT TRACKS ILLUSTRATE HOW OUR NATION’S AIR-SPACE STRATEGICALLY STRADDLES KEY AIR-ROUTES charging ‘OVER-FLIGHT’ FEES to Bahamian and foreign carriers whose 511,000+FLIGHTS pass over the strategically located airspace of our Archipelagic State each year (re-designated as Miami Oceanic (ZMA)) on journeys between Miami, NYC, Orlando, Europe, Latin America, Central America or Caribbean without Parliament consent. Despite the U.S. Office of Inspector General stating in its December, 2017 audit that the FAA billed an astonishing ‘$800 MILLION’ in over-flight fees between 20062016; yet, our cash strapped Public Treasury has NEVER RECEIVED A PENNY. Even today, our politicians still allow U.S carriers and those flights which either take off or land in the USA - FREE USAGE - of our airspace; instead of CHARGING EVERY PLANE like the other 180 nations around the world?
