Assistant Aviation Inspector, Alphonso Mangah, has said repairs to the Matthews Ridge Airstrip are completed and regular flights to the area have resumed.
The deterioration of the airstrip began in December 2011 when the maintenance personnel allegedly left Region One for medical reasons.
In late January, owing to the deplorable state of the airstrip regular flights to the area had stopped.
This was inconvenient to residents who had to use the Baramita and Port Kaituma airstrips. According to Mangah, continuous works to the airstrip have once again commenced, since the person responsible for executing the day-to-day maintenance of the structure has resumed duties.
He stated that the strip has been repaired but its surface continues to be covered with bitumen in one half and the other in laterite. Mangah was unable to say when the structure’s surface would be upgraded.
