More Jamaicans stranded in Antigua and St Kitts and Nevis since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are to return home soon.
Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Kamina Johnson Smith yesterday announced that Caribbean Airlines (CAL) has received its regulatory approvals to operate regular Kingston, Antigua and Barbados return flights.
The flights are scheduled to start next weekend and are currently accepting bookings.
The minister made the announcement in a series of tweets.
“My counterpart in Antigua & Barbuda has also thankfully confirmed that yesterday, their Cabinet formally approved the “travel bubble” to include OECS (Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States), Jamaica and other Caricom (Caribbean Community) countries so that you will not need to get a PCR test before travelling there,” Johnson Smith said.
She also urged Jamaicans in St Kitts and Nevis to make bookings/confirm their CAL Antigua to Kingston flight and then contact Honorary Consul Desmond Sharpe, “who has agreed to make arrangements to get you to Antigua in time for your flight”.
The minister reiterated that the ministry is working hard to facilitate the return of citizens within the reality that it cannot mandate airlines to fly or to charge reduced fares.

The newly appointed Jamaica honorary counsel to Antigua should be able to handle there. Get to work!!!
Jamaican cannot be stranded anywhere because they lov other people country more than their own
They will be back and on their backs in no time
Antigua is America to Jamaicans they see the best days when they come here because all the other countries shut them out for the lowlifetedness so they can’t run anywhere else
U obviously illiterate small minded and dunce. As anything is posted about non nationals…jamaicans in particular u ppl attack like hungry wolves. The people are stranded in your country and just want to go home .Why cant u just let them leave in peace without all that negative bs. Dont you have enough shit going on in Antigua right now to focus on than messing with innocent ppl? Shut your stinking mouth and let the ppl go home in peace. Smfh!!!
Are you the same person who is constantly making negative comments at the mention of the word Jamaican? If you are then please stop because it’s not a good look, you’re making Antiguans look bad. Your comments seem to come from a really personal place so I’m only left to wonder if maybe you got knuckled by a Jamaican.
Well said 👍
Gimme a fucking break bout jamaicans love other countries than their own…I’ll take it that’s the antiguans living over seas love other countries more than their own too…yall so badminded and just love chat ****.people travel for different reasons not because a jamaican want to settle in anu means they dont love their country!!! Y’all should glad people wah come here come live cause alot of oversea countries dont know what is anu or where it is.
We not glad people come here Antigua too small and you all crowding us and we full up already
we dont care if people dont know about us as long as our money and passport strong we good
Remember you all have monopoly money in jamaica and wen dem overseas country see you passport you get pull out of the line and searched for drugs and deported
Does that mean they wont be coming back once they leave? Unfortunately that wont happen because ABLP loves their open door policy too much.
This is why I don’t usually read comments. The good Antiguan citizens have to also be included when they say Antiguans share this opinion. The nonsense you [cant even find an appropriate word rn] people come on public articles and type is infuriating. Jamaicans definitely have a reputation and comments like these aren’t helping to improve any relations. We will all end up blind. Being a despicable human isn’t gonna bring any positive changes in your personal or public lives so stfu!
