Event

Officials in Barbados have closed Grantley Adams International Airport (BGI) through at least 06:00 April 11 due to ashfall from La Soufriere volcano on Saint Vincent Island. Officials stated they will reassess the situation early April 11 to determine if the airport can re-open or will stay closed. BGI is the only international airport serving Barbados.

Once flights resume, disruptions are likely to persist at BGI, though flights remain limited due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
