Montego Bay, Jamaica \u2013 8th<\/sup>\u00a0July 2025<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The Government of Antigua and Barbuda<\/a><\/strong><\/em> has renewed its call for the establishment of direct air links between the Caribbean and the African continent, urging fellow CARICOM member states to collectively support this transformative initiative at the upcoming\u00a0Second Africa-CARICOM Summit, scheduled for\u00a0September 7, 2025, in\u00a0Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.<\/p>

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

Speaking during the final plenary session of the 49th Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of CARICOM, Prime Minister the Honourable Gaston Browneunderscored the immense potential for enhanced collaboration and economic partnerships between Africa and the Caribbean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are tremendous opportunities for our region to deepen cooperation with Africa\u2014particularly in trade, e-commerce, agriculture, and sports. But most critically, the establishment of direct air links will serve as the catalyst for unlocking these possibilities,\u201d Prime Minister Browne stated.<\/p>

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

The Prime Minister emphasized that air connectivity remains a critical enabler for strengthening economic, cultural, and people-to-people exchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He reflected on Antigua and Barbuda<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s past efforts to initiate direct flights through a partnership with\u00a0Air Peace, which faced operational challenges.<\/p>

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

\u201cWe must ensure that any future attempt to bridge the Caribbean and Africa by air is better managed, with the risks mitigated through proper planning and collective support,\u201d he cautioned.<\/p>

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

To this end, Prime Minister Browne proposed astrategic investment\u2014both public and private\u2014in the acquisition or leasing of at least two wide-body aircraft to facilitate regular passenger and cargo movement between the two regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is not only an economic imperative but an historical and cultural one. We must invest in the infrastructure that connects our people and builds a stronger transatlantic partnership rooted in shared heritage and mutual advancement,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antigua and Barbuda will continue to champion this initiative leading up to the Africa-CARICOM Summit, positioning regional air connectivity as a cornerstone of future cooperation with the African continent.\u00a0 (Ends)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
