On Thursday, President Dr. Irfaan Ali commissioned the new 2,500-foot rigid concrete airstrip at Aishalton

On Thursday, President Dr. Irfaan Ali commissioned the new 2,500-foot rigid concrete airstrip at Aishalton, Region Nine—another important step in connecting
our hinterland communities. Delivered in partnership with the Ministry of Public Works’ Special Projects Unit and the Village Council, the project created jobs
and skills training for more than 60 residents, and will significantly improve the movement of people, goods, and services. Plans are already in place for the
construction of a modern terminal. The airstrip will improve access to healthcare, lower the cost of living, expand market opportunities, and unlock new avenues
for economic growth. Government plans to construct at least 35 additional hinterland airstrips (Photos: President Irfaan Ali/Facebook) — On Thursday, President Dr. Irfaan Ali commissioned the new 2,500-foot rigid concrete airstrip at Aishalton, Region Nine—another important step in connecting our hinterland communities.
