Familiarisation Tour of Airports of Zimbabwe Facilities
On Monday 25th November, starting at 9:30 am, the Portfolio Committee on Transport and Infrastructural Development will be undertaking a familiarisation tour of Robert Mugabe Airport and Charles Prince Airport.
According to Parliament’s schedule of meetings this tour will be an “open session”, i.e. open to the public. It is doubtful however if the public will be allowed to accompany committee members into areas within the airports that are normally closed to the public.
