Codrington Airport
Barbuda Codrington Airport (IATA: BBQ, ICAO: TAPH) is a public airport serving the village of Codrington, on the island of Barbuda. Its runway is only 500 metres long, only sufficient for STOL or very light aeroplanes.
In September 2017, Hurricane Irma seriously damaged Barbuda Codrington Airport, and as a result, Antiguan and Barbudan authorities shut down the airport until repairs were completed.
As of early 2024, there are indications, including satellite imagery, of a new aerodrome being constructed for Barbuda, though the legality of the project is subject to discussion.
