Orientation and Maps

(St. Johns, Antigua and Barbuda)

A popular Caribbean island nation, Antigua and Barbuda is comprised of two main islands, the southern island of Antigua and the more northerly island of Barbuda. With a population of approximately 1,500 inhabitants, Barbuda is the smaller of the two islands and most people here tend to live in the town of Codrington, on the western coast. Antigua is considerably bigger and has a total population of approximately 70,000 inhabitants, around 25,000 of which live in the capital of St. Johns.

Located on the north-eastern side of St. Johns, VC Bird International Airport dates back to the 1940s. The airport is currently being updated and expanded, and was named after Sir Vere Cornwall Bird in 1985, being formerly known as Antigua's Coolidge International Airport.
