Location

Codrington, Antigua and Barbuda

Burton-Nibbs International Airport, also known as Codrington Airport, is a small regional airport serving the island of Barbuda in Antigua and Barbuda. It is located near Codrington, the main settlement on the island, and serves as the primary air access point for Barbuda. The airport handles light aircraft and regional turboprop services connecting Barbuda to Antigua and other nearby Caribbean destinations. It underwent significant attention following Hurricane Irma in 2017, which devastated Barbuda and caused the temporary evacuation of the entire island population. The facility is modest in scale, reflecting the small population and tourism-focused economy of Barbuda. It plays a critical logistical role in connecting the island to Antigua's V.C. Bird International Airport and the wider region.
