Cargo operations for Amerijet at VC Bird International Airport have been temporarily disrupted due to mechanical issues with essential ground-handling equipment.
The airline’s private ground handler reported that its main Deck Loader, a key machine for safely unloading cargo, required a replacement part, which delayed scheduled shipments.
The part is expected to arrive today, allowing the equipment to return to full service and cargo operations to resume.
The Antigua and Barbuda Airport Authority (ABAA) said Amerijet plays a crucial role in supporting both commercial and public cargo needs and thanked the community for its patience during the brief interruption.
ABAA confirmed it is working closely with all stakeholders to ensure a smooth and rapid restoration of services.
Glad the disruption is temporary. Hope operations resume quickly to prevent delays in essential cargo

Temporary? This thong is over a week now….lots of school items for children going back to school. Please y’all get it fixed, people can’t spend money twice.
Mechanical issues happen. Good to hear the part is coming today and operations will resume soon.
Glad the problem is being fixed today. Hope everything returns to normal quickly for the businesses that depend on it.
Shouldn’t spare parts be on hand at all times for this offloading dock?? Isn’t this equipment categorized as a critical pieces of equipment?? Always keep a par level stock count. It wasn’t just the other day this same offloading dock had mechanical issues?? This offloading dock needs an overhaul but before doing so temporary backup needed.
