<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to announce service to V.C. Bird International Airport in Antigua with nonstop flights to Orlando beginning this December,\u201d said Daniel Shurz, senior vice president of commercial, Frontier Airlines. \u201cOur mission is to deliver \u2018Low Fares Done Right\u2019 for our customers and we\u2019re confident that this new route will make travel to the island even more accessible and affordable for tourists while at the same time providing an attractive option for local residents wanting to travel to the U.S. We look forward to welcoming passengers onboard to enjoy the warm weather and stunning scenery of Antigua and Barbuda and to serving local residents with affordable flights to Orlando and beyond through our extensive U.S. route network.\u201d<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

Tuesday\u2019s announcement by Frontier Airlines was welcomed by Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Officials, who were engaged in talks with the airline before the pandemic. This is the airline\u2019s first entry into the Caribbean as they resume steps to expand their network.\u00a0<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

Antigua and Barbuda Minister of Tourism The Honourable Charles Fernandez said, \u201cThe launch of the new service out of the busy Orlando airport opens up an important gateway to Antigua, with links to major US cities.\u00a0\u00a0We can now look forward to meeting the increased demand coming out of the US this winter and from all indications, we can also expect to see more competitive pricing brought on by Frontier Airlines\u2019 affordable rates.\u201d\u00a0<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

CEO of the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority Colin C. James called the airline\u2019s decision, \u201cgood news for the industry, good news for Antigua and Barbuda, and a show of confidence in our rebound.\u201d\u00a0<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

James said, \u201cThose additional 186 passengers every Saturday will certainly go a long way in providing us with the alternative options that we need from other gateway cities in the USA into Antigua.\u201d<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

News of the airline\u2019s December launch has been met with much enthusiasm by Antigua and Barbuda hoteliers and other tourism stakeholders who are excited about the additional airlift for the destination.\u00a0<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>
