Yes...it seems as though things only get half done over here, just look at the one-way Southern Expressway.

It's got to the point that the local paper is holding a competition on who can guess the opening date for domestic operations.

Even the design of the new terminal has a few people scratching their head. I have heard the following:
  • Southern parking bays are just a bit too small for the Dash 8 to occupy them.
  • Catering vans can not drive on the road under the terminal because the roof is too low.
  • The low roof in the baggage area may be too low to carry the LD aircraft baggage containers on tugs through there.
Lets just hope that they sort out the problem soon...but I doubt we will be using the new terminal before the new year.

Cheers,
