“ The article pointed out some important points that we ought to understand.
In 2010, the ICAO identified a list of non-compliance to be remediated. The last audit in November 2019, auditors found additional non-compliance in the area the Air Navigation Services (ANS) as well as the Aerodromes and Ground Aids (AGA)
Now we have two sets of non-compliances to correct. Set aside the most recent findings, nowhere in the article it stipulates the first set of non-compliances were corrected. That means it was not corrected in a decade while the airport in operation.
Remember the runway light failure late last year? That was one of the non-compliance. This problem diverted the flights to Fiji and stoppage in other cases.
This is unacceptable. The workers do not take their job seriously. Where is their supervisor, boss, CEO? They all fail to recognize the expectations and their role in the safety of the airport. Like Bertie Wulf said, we’ll get to it when we feel like it. This way of thinking is shared across the Kingdom, preposterous. That is why we are horrible in everything thus preventing the Kingdom from advancing.
Last but not the least. The ICAO compliance database track the remediation in real time. It requires Tonga to act; correct the problems, document it, sign off then upload it to the system. How hard is that?
Sorry but I have to say, you’re all incompetent, especially the leaders of MOI. That is my story and I am sticking to it. ”
