| Abstract: | The euphoria over the expansion of aircraft-servicing facilities at Safi is well justified considering its economic and employment contribution. SR Technics alone is pledging to employ 350 staff by 2014. However, the recently-approved expansion of the aviation park in Safi to accommodate an SR Technics maintenance hangar is massive (20 hectares - 180 tumoli) and any environmental considerations seem to have been steamrolled over. Developments within the airport precincts are not subject to the customary red tape but necessitate a simple development notification order (DNO), normally the preserve of balcony restorations or internal alterations within residences. Again, such a protocol is justified in terms of time constraints, since competition in the aviation industry is cutthroat and operates within stringent timelines. |
