This is a fantastic Architecture Project, It is hard to imaging all the complexity of bringing there the heavy machinery, fuel, cement, building that route, skilled and experienced workers........then fill up all that space with rocks....... in that extremely remote location........ wow, Absolutely amazing to me.. Congrats :-)
Wonderful video thank you I have been saving to go since you started the airport and I hope to fly from the UK soon. This new airport is GREAT link for the island and everyone.
As more and more modern designed and tested Space Rockets are become a lot more safe and reliable on Launch. With the concept of Launching rockets out at sea from a floated platform. Then Dry Gut Bay, on the far East of Saint Helena. Is the best possible location to have a floating Launch Platform. Just far enough away from the high cliffs but still sheltered when needed. 30 fathoms shelf in this area. Overall. Space Rockets built in The Republic of South Africa, of a small 20-25 Metre long type currently under development by companies like Orbex Space, in Scotland. With a joint collaboration of Launch designs and a range of payloads hardware. For commercial customers in Africa to buy. With 2000 thousand odd miles between the Island and the West coast of Africa. Saint Helena is best situated in many ways. The airport it's self provides a securior and sound location for new buildings overlooking the Bay, to be built. Tracking rockets as the fly away from the launch site platform. And controlling in-flight manoeuvres as they are required. Support vessel that bring in the Rockets by sea to the Island can be down range in a halfway point. Following each launch. A fleet of similar ships do the whole business, from erecting assembled rocket onto Platform. To transferring rocket fuel to support barge that housing rocket fuels safely. Until it is fuelled proir to it's launch. SpaceX Falcan 9 rockets will never be available outside the United States due the rules coverings them, If the US Government considers them vital security to the safety of The United States of American. It up to countries like the RSA and Britian to work towards a space partnership. By 2030.
Have they figured out how to solve the wind-sheer yet? The poor people of St.Helena who LOVE THE ISOLATION.😂 I hope more tourists won't ruin the rare birds and fauna
The wind sheer is created by Mother Nature herself, there is no man made solution to eliminate wind sheer. Weather can be forecasted and measured to arrange flights for the least wind sheer conditions. Similar conditions occur in Madeira and the Faroe Islands. Flights may be cancelled or delayed like they are everywhere.
According to test pilots the wind shear is no different to other airports. They've adopted the Embraer E190 jet and after pilot training landings/take-offs are no longer a problem.

It is truly amazing what human beings can do.
I can't wait to visit!!
Now St. Helena had 2 things at once. An airport and a sea port. No longer "Remote"
I'll be one of the first passengers on those early flights.
Well no.
good job .......

Perfect Principality for Harry and Megan , not too far from Africa and predominantly owned still is most of it anyway by the crown , 👍👍👍
Is St Helena a Crown dependency.?
This new airport will quadruple eco tourism.
