The airport is federally obligated to generate revenue and be self-sustaining, which means it can charge fees for use of or access to its facilities.</i>samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11856051164644278989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-82296723663352002152016-03-18T01:20:47.297-04:002016-03-18T01:20:47.297-04:00A video has surfaced appearing to show a missing J...<i>A video has surfaced appearing to show a missing Japanese journalist, reportedly held by an al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria, reading a message to his family and country.<br /><br />...<br /><br />In December, media freedom organisation Reporters Without Borders retracted and apologised for a report it had issued that said Yasuda had been threatened with execution in Syria.
