U.S.-based, low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines will make its inaugural flight to Antigua on December 4. The service will operate once weekly on Saturdays with flights to Antigua’s V.C. Bird International Airport from its base at the Orlando International Airport in Florida.
The 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’s first entry into the Caribbean as they resume steps to expand their network.
Antigua and Barbuda Minister of Tourism Charles Fernandez said, “The launch of the new service out of the busy Orlando airport opens up an important gateway to Antigua, with links to major U.S. cities. We can now look forward to meeting the increased demand coming out of the U.S. this winter and from all indications, we can also expect to see more competitive pricing brought on by Frontier Airlines’ affordable rates.”
CEO of the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority Colin C. James called the airline’s decision, “good news for the industry, good news for Antigua and Barbuda, and a show of confidence in our rebound.”
James said, “Those 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.”
News of the airline’s 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.
Frontier Airlines will operate an Airbus320-Neo. Introductory fares to Antigua will start from at US$99.

Interesting! Mr. Tourism Minister, did you really investigate this airline? Did you read the reviews? For 186 passengers a week, are hoteliers really excited? Like who? Those passengers want B&B’s.
Frontier…a 3 star low budget, no-frills airline that ranks below Spirit Airlines.
I think that this is going to be great for locals to get home over the holidays if you live in and around Orlando, FL….just travel light, and be prepared to pay for everything, including carryon. Oh and from what I read, there’s either no Wi-Fi or you have to pay for that as well. It’s a far cry from American Airlines.
What’s next Mr. Tourism Minister?
@Really, Thank you!! Why do we always seem to get the worst of the pack!! #frontier is the worst. Talk about customer service, flight cancellations, and delays! That is just for starters!! Think BWIA was bad, wait!! Think LIAT bad!! Think again!!
Frontier Airline has been coming to Antigua for the longest while. How is this news. My friend flies on it all the time to Orlando, it’s going to resume flights it should be.
Poor you
I forgot there is an Airline named FRONTIER.
I don’t think this is correct. The airline has no confirmation / announcements on this new/old route restarting: https://news.flyfrontier.com/?h=1&t=national,news and you cannot book it
