The governments of Antigua and Barbuda and Anguilla are currently discussing establishing direct flights connecting the British territory with Barbuda.

The discussions, which have involved Prime Minister Gaston Browne and the Premier of Anguilla, Ellis Webster, aim to enhance travel and connectivity between the two destinations.

This potential development is expected to provide greater convenience for travelers and further strengthen the ties between Antigua and Barbuda and Anguilla.

Both governments are working collaboratively to explore the feasibility and logistics of this initiative, with the shared goal of improving accessibility and promoting tourism and economic opportunities between the territories.

“We are talking about doing joint flights between Barbuda and Anguilla. They are also building a new airport to accommodate these larger jets. On the basis we can do a joint flight, maybe two or three times a week, that would help bring some traffic into Barbuda,” Browne said

The new international airport at Barbuda is expected to officially open in the next few weeks.
