AGP Executive Report

Last update: 14 minutes ago

Airport Works: Antigua’s V.C. Bird International Airport says runway paving on Runway 07-25 is finished under its US$50m rehabilitation, with a new asphalt surface and a new Runway End Safety Area to boost safety and durability; full completion is still expected by Sept. 6, 2026. Maritime Skills: Tropical Shipping, PMAC and the Antigua and Barbuda Port Authority welcomed a second cohort into a six-week Maritime Apprenticeship Programme, rotating trainees through shipping, port operations, logistics and documentation. Power & Water Disruption: APUA repaired a damaged Pigotts transmission tower, rerouting parts of the network and temporarily reducing water production as reverse osmosis plants paused; electricity was also restored after a separate widespread outage earlier this week. Agriculture Land Access: The Ministry of Agriculture is requiring former ADC tenants of government agricultural lands to regularize their leases or risk losing access, aiming to protect food and nutrition security. Regional Policy Pressure: Nevis Premier Mark Brantley backs a longer transition away from Citizenship by Investment, arguing the EU’s two-year deadline is too short and needs OECS/CARICOM coordination. Cybersecurity for CHOGM: Antigua and Barbuda signed a UK MoU to strengthen cyber readiness ahead of CHOGM 2026, including support for the national CIRT. Culture & Tourism: Antigua Carnival 2026 kicked off with safety-focused calls from Creative Industries Minister Dwayne George, while CHOGM branding and local creative partnerships continue to build momentum.
