Barbuda’s new international airport, set to open on October 3, 2024, was expected to be named the “Burton-Nibbs International Airport,” but a surprising development has occurred. The family of the late Sir Eric Burton has respectfully requested his name be removed from the facility.
In a letter to the government, the family emphasized their wish to preserve Sir Eric’s distinct legacy, describing him as a cultural custodian whose contributions went beyond infrastructure. They also acknowledged Arthur Nibbs’ key role in the airport’s development, suggesting he be solely recognized for the project.
