It’s the Caribbean’s newest airport, and now Barbuda International Airport has its first regularly-scheduled service. 

Regional carrier LIAT 20 (the successor to the storied regional airline), which has been adding new destinations seemingly every week of late (after officially relaunching in August under the new name), is launching flights between Antigua and Barbuda beginning next month. 

The new flights are operating every day, with two round-trip frequencies, the company confirmed.

So what does it cost?

Right now prices start at $79 plus tax. The flight takes about 25 minutes.
