Gibraltar’s representation at the Labour Party Conference continued yesterday evening with the Gibraltar Reception hosted by the Chief Minister Fabian Picardo and featuring a keynote speech by the UK Minister for Europe and the Overseas Territories Stephen Doughty MP.
The Government of Gibraltar says it is “extremely disappointed" by announcement by the MoD that Gibraltar International Airport will have an early closure of Air Traffic Control due to lack of staff.
The GSD says it notes with concern the news that the airfield will close later today due to staff issues. The party says that it is “simply not acceptable”, at a time when Gibraltar should be seeking to improve its economy, with flight connectivity playing a central part in this effort, that flights should experience cancellation in this way.
