Antigua 15 June anniversary

Antigua and Barbuda celebrate British Airways 60th anniversary milestone

 Antigua and Barbuda marked British Airways? 60th anniversary of flying to the twin-island nation with a cocktail reception hosted by the Antigua and Barbuda Ministry of Tourism and the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority at the Rock Cottage, Blue Waters.

At the event, the honourable Charles Fernandez, minister of tourism and investment, congratulated the airline on the relationship cultivated throughout the sixty-year period, expressing interest in continued partnership and the further growth of flights to the destination.

British Airways is the longest serving carrier connecting the Caribbean to the UK, and its links to the region are stronger than ever, supporting local tourism and bringing families and friends together.

In the celebration, British Airways was presented with a replica of a historic photo obtained from the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda of 1965 Carnival Queen Hyacinth Barrow waving to on-lookers as she prepared to board BOAC on a prize-win flight to England.  Minister Fernandez was also gifted with a sixty-year commemorative plaque from the airline.
