CABINET NOTES:
Having consulted with numerous residents of Barbuda, the Cabinet entertained several suggestions for the naming of the new international airport in Barbuda, to be opened on 3rd October, 2024.
Cabinet considered the merits of the contributions of several distinguished sons of the soil to include the late Claude Earl Francis and Sir Eric Burton; Hilborne Frank, Sir McChesney George, Arthur Nibbs and Trevor Walker, among many other well-respected “Barbudans” who have worked tirelessly in the interest of the residents (people) of Barbuda.
During robust discussions, the Cabinet critically examined the contributions of the named persons, not only to the development of the twin-island state, but more specifically to the socio-economic, cultural and political landscape of the island of Barbuda.
Consequently, it was determined that two individuals would have distinguished themselves at the advent or the birth of the twin-island state during the framing of the constitution of Antigua and Barbuda at Lancaster House, in 1980.
Sir Eric Burton and the Hon. Arthur Nibbs have both served as Members of Parliament representing Barbuda and were stalwarts of the political scene, pioneering entrepreneurs, and leaders who advanced commerce and economic development for the island.
Accordingly, Cabinet considered the recommendations and decided that the new international airport in Barbuda shall be named the Burton-Nibbs International Airport.
EARLIER REPORT:
The new international airport on Barbuda has been named Burton-Nibbs International Airport.
After consulting with residents and considering various suggestions, the Cabinet chose to honor Sir Eric Burton and Arthur Nibbs for their significant contributions to Barbuda’s political and economic development.
Both served as Members of Parliament and played pivotal roles in the formation of the Antigua and Barbuda constitution in 1980.
Their legacy as entrepreneurs and leaders influenced the decision to name the airport after them.

tek dat in you nehnen!!! Trevor Walker aint done shit for barbudans except LIE to them about land “ownership”
Did Barbuda really need an international airport? Couldn’t that money be better spent on more important projects in Barbuda. Whilst I would support the idea of extending the runaway and improving the airport facility, Barbuda probably will never see the kind of traffic that necessitated an international airport. Wasted resources!
Did you really need that yound Dominican girl living in your house? Now you claimed she cammed you of $$$. “Wasted resources” on a chic that would never even introduce you to her friends.
