Perhaps you're right about the Port.
but with regard to the Airport, someone will have to be in charge and responsible for all the regulatory requirements as well as Air Traffic Control, security, and Aerodrome Standards as well as all the Safety Management Systems, Emergency Response Plans, Auditing and Compliance, and even incident and crash investigations.
It can only be granted to a State - and what I mean about a State is a Country not some State within a Federation. ICAO is basically an arm of the United Nations and as such only countries can be signatories not States (i.e California can't be a signatory, only the USA is).
Therefore, the Airport can only achieve legitimacy as part of a comprehensive settlement.
I am not sure about that. Klerides has proposed in the past to re-operate Nicosia's International airport, where there would be two gates one leading to the occupied and another to us. It seems to me Air laws is one thing ground laws is another.
Someone will need to be responsible for security at both sides of the divide, particularly in this day and age due to terrorism.
Politicians can say what they like. It's only when you get the experts in and the right consultants, when things get very difficult.
Anyway, it's not a big deal. If there is a comprehensive settlement, they can have their own Airport. But everyone needs to understand that in Federations, Airport Land is Federal Land, comes under Federal Jurisdiction (RoC), FIR and ATC is under Federal jurisdiction and only Federal Police have jurisdiction in the terminal spaces and on Airside, and are under the auspices of the Federal Regulator which in the RoC's case will be the Civil Aviation Department.
The problem though with having 3 international airports is that the taxpayer will need to fund 3 International Airports and that is hugely expensive on a small country like Cyprus - so pooooor Cyprus Taxpayer because Airports are money pits. Zillions of bucks to maintain the facilities, customs, Fed Police, security and compliance.
So it would be very beneficial on everyone to consolidate things like Airports otherwise the tax payer of Cyprus will bleed dry or the State will go bust!
If the GCs and TCs can't work together on this, then you got to ask serious questions.
If I were you I would start thinking about the really strong possibility that the Cyprob would be solved very soon. That would keep you so busy that you would have no time for whores anymore
