Air Canada has returned to Antigua and Barbuda. 

The carrier resumed its service between Toronto and Antigua on Oct. 3. 

“We welcome Canadians back to our shores and are very pleased that Air Canada has decided to resume services from Toronto to St. John’s, Antigua,” said Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Minister Charles Fernandez. “This upcoming winter season, visitors will continue to safely enjoy Antigua and Barbuda.”

The destination recently amended its travel protocols, requiring all travelers over 18 to have received at least one dose of a WHO-approved vaccine. 

“Canadians are anxious to travel to the beautiful locations they’ve been dreaming of, and we’re ready to respond to their needs,” said Nino Montagnese, Vice President of Air Canada Vacations. “Our packaged holidays from Toronto to Antigua, available as of October 3rd, give them the opportunity to experience a stunning corner of the Caribbean and create new memories under the sun.”
