The Antigua and Barbuda Airport Authority (ABAA) says the actions of the staff at the VC Bird International Airport have not caused flights (including international departures) to be delayed.
ABAA CEO, Euletta Francis confirming that there was indeed a “go-slow” in progress today and that the airport management was not advised of the “go-slow” beforehand.
According to Francis, the reason for the “go-slow” was not made explicitly clear by the staff.
Francis said she understood why the staff chose today to carry out such actions as Saturday is one of, if not the busiest day of operations for the airport.
Though flight schedules have not been affected, the sheer traffic at the airport means lines have not been moving at an optimal pace. Francis shared that the Authority had put certain mitigating measures in place, which are working as expected.
Francis concluded that she would be working on bringing a speedy resolution to the situation and work hard to prevent any similar recurrences.

Family of 4 traveling . Unprofessional at the highest level… Stood in line for 2 hours almost missed flight… The slow down delayed the flight… None of my bags arrived at destination.. Now my 2 and 5 year old doesn’t have clothes for the overnight layover in new jersey…. Every single person on the flight was upset and talking about the unprofessionalism of security… Now iam in another line to claim my lost bags… This slow down has cost my extra time and money now that I have to buy clothes and supplies for my kids… United is taking no responsibility and said they are appauled by the the unprofessionalism showed in Antigua… I liked my trip but left with horrible taste in my mouth… Thanks for inconveniencing the customers
