New airport for Antigua & Barbuda

ANTIGUA & BARBUDA has opened one of the most modern airports in the #Caribbean. The size of the terminal at the V.C. Bird International Airport has been doubled. 

There are four jet bridges, a state-of-the-art baggage sorting and scanning system, 46 check-in counters, 15 self-check-in kiosks, a pet restroom, 30 retail outlets, a VIP lounge, and for very, very important people, a VVIP lounge.

The US$100 million (£62.3 million) development was funded by a China EXIM Bank concessional loan, and by a Chinese government interest-free loan.

JetBlue Airways will begin a direct service to Antigua from New York on November 5, and Alitalia is planning a weekly service from Milan, starting in December.
