AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Ebola Airlift Disrupted: Prime Minister Gaston Browne says the planned Air Peace arrival from Lagos on Monday, May 25 has been suspended amid Ebola concerns in parts of Africa, with the aircraft expected to land directly in Barbados instead, and no transit visa waiver protocols in place for the trans-Atlantic route while authorities keep monitoring. Malaria Alert: Health officials confirm two imported malaria cases—one traveller has died—while stressing there’s no evidence of local spread; mosquito control and stronger port surveillance are being stepped up. Airport Screening Boost: Antigua and Barbuda is set to reinstate thermal scanners and reinforce port health operations as part of broader global health preparedness. National Mourning: The UWI Five Islands Campus and the wider community are mourning the death of Sir Aziz Hadeed, praising his leadership and major support for education and scholarships. Arts Access: Minister Rawdon Turner toured the National Theatre of Performing Arts, pushing for real accessibility upgrades so persons with disabilities can attend with dignity. Tourism Momentum: Antigua and Barbuda reports a 7% jump in first-quarter stayovers, with strong demand from the UK and US.
