The VC Bird International Airport is once again welcoming passengers into its highly acclaimed Executive Lounge, which has been officially reopened as Antigua and Barbuda witnesses a resurgence in airline travel.<\/p>

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

The pandemic left the Antigua and Barbuda Airport Authority (ABAA) with no other option but to temporarily close the lounge until yesterday, 5th<\/sup>\u00a0August, when travellers were able to relax and unwind in the facility once again.<\/p>\n

\u201cTravel is coming back in a major way and with a number of adjustments and improvements, the members of the hard working team at the airport ensured that the Lounge was ready to host our visitors,\u201d stated Minister of Aviation Sir Robin Yearwood.<\/p>

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

\u201cWe were very mindful of the health protocols so we made some changes to ensure that our guests can not only feel comfortable but be assured of their safety on their last stop before leaving Antigua,\u201d Stacy Cabrall, the Executive Lounge Coordinator, further explained.<\/p>

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

The Executive Lounge is one of the proud and distinguishing features of the VC Bird International Airport, offfering travellers a tranquil sanctuary before their flights.<\/p>\n

Cabrall noted that the UK travellers have been exceptionally pleased upon hearing the news as comfort is important for the long haul trips.<\/p>

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

\u201cThe staff has developed quite a reputation of catering to everyone\u2019s needs,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The Executive Lounge opens from 11am every day until the departure of the last international flight from the VC Bird International Airport.<\/p>
