Antigua
| Weekly departures | Weekly seats | Destinations | Airlines | Largest carrier share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 124 | 10,106 | 18 | 13 | 25.5% |
Antigua ranks 12th overall (43.2) and 8th regionally (58.2). It is a regional connector: it serves 13 Caribbean islands, no single partner takes more than 17.0% of its Caribbean departures, and it has 5,556 Caribbean seats, against 4,550 extra-regional seats.
The Caribbean takes 55.0% of its seats, the United States 27.1% and Europe 16.3%. Leading routes are Barbados, with 17 departures on five carriers; Dominica, with 17 departures on Liat Air (5L), Sunrise Airways (S6) and Winair (WM); Tortola with 15; Miami (MIA), with 14 departures and 2,408 seats on American Airlines (AA); and St Maarten / St Martin (Princess Juliana and Grand Case) with 14.
American Airlines is the largest carrier at 25.5% of seats (HHI 1,529), and 33.3% of destinations have two or more airlines. Antigua is included in the gateway analysis by editorial choice. It received 22 extra-regional arrivals with 4,580 seats, 36.0% of them long-haul, and all of those seats (100.0%) had a same-day option to 10 islands, with a median wait of 2.1 h.
Of its Caribbean seats, 1,550 are legs of flights continuing to or arriving from London and Lagos. Seats are estimated for 98.4% of departures. Barbuda is not indexed.
Score and rank
The connectivity score is an index on 0–100 built from departures, destinations, airlines, hub links and seats; the regional score uses the Caribbean subset only. Both are defined in the methodology. Not a percentage — an island does not have "96% connectivity".
| Measure | Score | Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Overall | 43.2 | #12 of 28 |
| Regional (Caribbean only) | 58.2 | #8 of 28 |
Destinations and airlines
Antigua has 13 direct Caribbean destinations and 5 beyond the region, with 100 of its 124 weekly departures staying inside the Caribbean. It has direct service to 5 of the index's connecting hubs.

Load factors
Actual passengers against actual seats, from Eurostat (2024) and BTS T-100 (2025). Monthly and historical: these do not describe the reference week. Route-months the source reports inconsistently are excluded, so every figure here is publishable.
| Source | Direction | Market | Months | Load factor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| T100I | Inbound | Caribbean | 8 | 27.7% |
| T100I | Inbound | North America | 12 | 79.3% |
| T100I | Outbound | Caribbean | 8 | 30.4% |
| T100I | Outbound | North America | 12 | 80.2% |
Low season against peak
Peak week pending. This edition measures the week of 19 October 2026 only, and that week is an early shoulder week rather than the bottom of the season — some winter services start in October and others in November and December. The peak week is collected separately, and no low-versus-peak comparison is shown until it exists.
