British Airways Resumes Antigua Flights

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - July 22, 2021

British Airways has officially relaunched its service from London Heathrow to Antigua and Barbuda. 

The carrier’s resumption comes as Antigua and Barbuda is included on the UK’s Green List of travel destinations. 

“The increase in airlift with British Airways is a very positive step for Antigua and Barbuda. The island is currently the number one destination in the Caribbean for BA and with additional flights running over summer and beyond, we are in a strong position to cater to the strong demand from one of our most important markets,” said Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Minister Charles Fernandez. 

British Airways has been serving Antigua for more than 30 years from Heathrow. 

“The demand for holidays to Antigua and Barbuda has been immense, particularly with our inclusion on the UK’s Green List. This is an opportune trip to reach this key market in order to encourage bookings and visitation this summer and beyond,” said Cherrie Osborne, Director of Tourism UK & Europe for the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority.
