Antigua Airways’ inaugural flight from the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Nigeria to the V C Bird International Airport is expected to take place today.
Antigua and Barbuda’s Prime Minister Gaston Browne shared the flight schedule for the inaugural journey on social media yesterday.
“They said it could not be done. Once again, they were proven wrong. Antigua Airways lands tomorrow!” Browne wrote on Facebook.
