Quick Facts Summary, Airport type ...

In September 2017, Hurricane Irma seriously damaged Barbuda Codrington Airport, and as a result, Antiguan and Barbudan authorities shut down the airport until repairs were completed.[5]

As of early 2024, there are indications, including satellite imagery, of a new aerodrome being constructed for Barbuda, though the legality of the project is subject to discussion.
