Antigua and Barbuda Ratifies Air Services Agreements with France and Brazil
Antigua and Barbuda’s Parliament has ratified air services agreements with the French Republic and Brazil, formalizing bilateral arrangements aimed at strengthening air connectivity between the nations.
Tourism and Aviation Minister Charles Fernandez presented the resolution, explaining that these agreements are essential for expanding flight options and ensuring compliance with international aviation standards.
The agreement with France, signed on March 28, 2022, in St. John’s Antigua and Barbuda, facilitates direct and multi-stop flights while promoting commercial flexibility for airlines.
“These agreements represent a liberalized approach to civil aviation, ensuring the highest international standards of aviation safety and security while fostering a business-friendly environment,” Fernandez stated.
The agreements provide a framework for airline operations, covering key aspects such as designated routes, pricing, fair competition, taxation, and the transfer of funds.
Fernandez emphasized that Antigua and Barbuda continues to expand its network of air services agreements, enhancing connectivity and economic opportunities.

2022????
Ratifying these agreements is a positive step, but will the increased air traffic benefit the local economy?
Antigua and Barbuda is positioning itself well in international aviation—let’s ensure this translates to more affordable flights.
how will this impact local airports’ capacity and infrastructure?
I hope the agreements bring more direct flights to the island and reduce travel costs.
These agreements could improve tourism, but will the island’s airports be ready for the expected increase in visitors?
Air France 🇫🇷 used to come to Antigua 3 times a week from about 1970 to 1975. It would stop on its way from Paris to Guadeloupe (stopping) in Antigua and also returning from Guadeloupe 🇬🇵 to Paris stopping in Antigua
@Cheryl & Donna: It will have no effect on capacity and infrastructure at the airport. VC Bird can handle thousands more passengers a day but that won’t be occurring with this agreement.
I strongly doubt that commerical flights will ever take place between mainland France and Antigua but if that was to occur, it would be a seasonal, if at all, service. Realistically, this would be for flights between the overseas regions of France (Guadeloupe and Martinique) and Antigua by small turboprops. An agreement with Brazil might make sense from a cargo standpoint but a commercial airline connection sounds like wishful thinking to me.
👏👏👏 good stuff. This definitely increases the potential for more people to visit the island especially from the French markets
It’s really good to know that our aviation industry is doing well overall, especially the upgrading and modernization of our air facilities. At least we are doing something right for a change
