Amerijet has resumed cargo operations at VC Bird International Airport after a temporary halt caused by mechanical issues with its private ground handling equipment.
The suspension was triggered when the airline’s ground handler reported a fault with its main deck loader, the heavy-duty machine used to safely load and unload shipments. The delay disrupted scheduled cargo deliveries until a replacement part could be sourced and installed.
Flights resumed on Friday evening, restoring a key service for local businesses and residents who depend on Amerijet for the movement of goods, including commercial supplies and essential imports.
Amerijet is considered an essential logistics partner for Antigua and Barbuda, maintaining vital trade links with the United States and the wider Caribbean.
This shows how critical logistics are. A single machine can cause a domino effect if it fails!
Small hiccup, but it’s good they fixed it quickly. Makes me appreciate the behind-the-scenes work at the airport.
Well that’s a breath of fresh air. I know a lot of people will be happy including myself. Some of us depend on those weekly flights
All my KESS orders can come in. Praise God. In future dont let that happen
Glad to see operations resuming smoothly at VC Bird.
