Location Antigua flight arrivals
V. C. Bird Airport is located northeast of the capital Saint John’s on the island of Antigua. Antigua and Barbuda belong together. However, an international flight to Barbuda is difficult due to the small airport (Barbuda Codrington Airport). You will first have to fly to Antigua to get ANU departures to the island. However, there are ANU arrivals with large aircraft at V. C. Bird International Airport because the runway is 10,000 feet long. It is a popular destination among the American people.
