Britain's Prince Edward was due to open the airport on May 21, St Helena Day, after arriving on the first Comair passenger flight from Johannesburg, but that plan has now been scrapped.
The R5.25-billion airport, built by South African construction company Basil Read between soaring mountains and the South Atlantic Ocean, was designed to boost tourism and revive the community in the British territory.
