The government has finally agreed to review alternative proposals and pause the current contract path.

To The Government of Bermuda:
We, the concerned residents of Bermuda, draw to the attention that:
- The redevelopment of L.F. Wade International Airport does not economically benefit the people of Bermuda;
- We are concerned that, if air traffic does not generate projected revenues per annum, the people of Bermuda will be forced to compensate for this by way of increased taxes imposed by the Bermuda Government;
- We believe that the Bermuda Government should issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to ensure a competitive market price for the airport is reached;
- We, the people, are not willing to give away our airport to be run and managed by foreign entities, namely Aecon & CCC.
The Petitioners, therefore, request that the Government of Bermuda:
- Void contract and cease further negotiations with Aecon & CCC
- Agree to review other options, such as building contractors here in Bermuda, issuing an RFP and selecting the best option for Bermuda and her people.

Power belongs to the people there is supposed to be an economic cruch ow can we justify $255mil for Aecon n Ccc when there are contractor in Bermuda skilled and able to do the job Listen to the people Issue a RFP Put project t out to tender Where's the transparency Can't afford an airport Ludicrous
I believe that the introduction of a new airport without clear grounds for its necessity provokes a lot of uncertainty. The lack of transparency and education on this whole project has also caused me to question whether or not a new airport is beneficial to me and people like me. Questions have gone unanswered.
I truly feel there must be another option to build a new airport, rather than to lease it to CCC or whoever for 30+ years and lose future revenue. Bermuda only has one airport, and I would prefer the revenue it creates to stay in the island.
In addition to the OBA's lack of transparency with development of the airport they have not considered the impact of the existing businessess who already operate there. Some business will loose their contracts . Others will not be able to afford the increase in rent.
Do we need a redeveloped Airport? Or is there some way to renovate the existing structure at a lower cost in order to save money, time and to devote Government resources (not just money) to more pressing needs.
I am fully against this deal, if it should happen, the public should have access to the planning behind this plan.
We can manage and build our own airport - No to AECON n CCC - Keep all profits on OUR BOOKS!!!

We must all agree our local contractors are very well experienced to perform the work of building Bermuda's airport. New airport no way to get to it. Fix the causeway first.
