However as there are no written rules or regulations to which the Antigua Barbuda Airport Authority can refer re the ownership of lands within the perimeter fence, their choice of support has in the past been with the rich investor, and once more their regulatory procedure has come up short, in that their failure to preempt violations by some parties has given strength to those who seem not to know the ICAO rules for entry into a hangar in operation.<\/p><div id=\"antig-2838702454\" class=\"antig-content antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ReggaeInTheParkAntigua\" aria-label=\"lucanio\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:864\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lucanio.jpeg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:864\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lucanio.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:240\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lucanio.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:819\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lucanio.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:960\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lucanio.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>As I do not intend to hide my concern I must admit to watching in horror and a considerable amount of deja uv as the breach was carried out and my heart thumped as I remembered when my Gate 10 was seized by the stooges of Allen Stanford with the help of Antigua Airport Security. I had to push back in order to keep my space and continue my business so I could pay lawyers for five years, fighting my own government and ABAA, and Stanford in order to keep my business which Stanford wanted. I had to cut off the Stanford chain and lock and worked at night to build a fence around my driveway, as my Gate 10 was protected by an airport authorized plan which clearly the Airpot Security wished to change.<\/p>\n<p>After getting my first injunction against SDC it took me five years to get justice eventually at the Privy Council, and another five years for the Government and ABAA to give effect to my judgment which called for a lease and the protection of my business including my Gate 10 access. Civil Aviation is very clear and supplied with all of the Rules and Regulations to safely protect a highly security conscious industry from violations of terrorist or economic indictable offenders.<\/p><div id=\"antig-1777206808\" class=\"antig-content_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"500X500 (1)\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>The Perimeter Fence encloses a designated area of lands for airports within countries, and which forms part of International Airspace ruled by a collection of governments globally (ICAO).
