Jack Green. Millán has wanted to insist that the tourist zone, the city and Huelva’s businesses need an airport and AVE (Alta Velocidad Española – Spain’s high speed trains). The studies say that for its central location and the potential tourist zone based on daylight hours, leisure and nature, ‘Christopher Columbus Airport’ would be more competitive than others in its place.
Although its not the moment to set aside scarce public resources to invest into this proposal, there is the need to continue looking for private initiative and move forward with this project. One main reason being is to attract possible investors that will only come if everything is ready like the Diputación Provincial de Huelva and La Federación Onubense de Empresarios FOE claim to have.
But if we agree with the Minister for Development, it is necessary to negotiate with the sector to take advantage of the existing resources; coaches, minibuses and tourist taxis need to be scheduled in an orderly and authorised transport charter service for travellers. This will need to be brought in with a direct, safe and timely service at a similar price to those at Faro and Seville airport and the AVE to the tourist areas and hotel complexes in Huelva.
