In 2013 Sadiqi visited the island of Saint Helena
in the middle of the southern Atlantic.
At the time an international
airport was being constructed to the tune of 250 million UK pounds.
The construction was due to be completed in 2015. Recently, out of
interest the skipper decided to check on the progress of the airport.
A summary from wikipedia:
Saint Helena
Airport is an international airport in the British Overseas
Territory of Saint Helena, a remote island in the south Atlantic
Ocean. On 26 April 2016, it was reported the opening of the airport
would be delayed indefinitely because of concerns about wind shear;
however, on 10 June 2016, the island's government claim these reports
are "incorrect" and the airport is "certified and
open" as demonstrated by successful medical evacuation flight.
The airport is also open to one-off, private flights. The cost of
airport was reported to be £285.5 million in April 2016.
In 2013 the skipper was informed the population
was 4 thousand. Apparently, in the 2016 census the
population was 4.5 thousand.
