A blind Gozitan resident made a presentation on the long-running idea of building an airstrip allowing small passenger aircraft to land in Gozo.

Roy S. Perry, a blind Gozitan resident, expressed frustration saying that Gozitan organisations have not exerted enough pressure on the government to improve tourist numbers on the island. Frank Salt, a supporter of the idea, noted that it takes a blind man to put forward sensible ideas that will halt the decline in commerce and tourism.

The meeting was concluded with a resolve to form a working party of businessmen who will be approaching the government.
