The early days of Antigua’s rise in Aviation set a calmly sophisticated style of service which our own Heather Nanton infused into her management techniques.

Those days were for the most part, learning and growing in an industry totally different to our small island economics demanded; persons who understood the courtesies and protocols required, to communicate and serve the elite and business travelers discovering Antigua & Barbuda.

Having achieved the top position at ASA, handling the largest aircraft BOAC/British Airways for decades, among other aircraft, Heather passed on all she learnt down the line of airport workers, through the Airlines Association and Airport Operators Committee, which designed the high standards of VCBIA in those days.

As the first woman out on the Ramp operating at that level, Heather Nanton was an aviation example, and all who came after, standing on her shoulders, have demonstrated that size is no deterrent to high standards.

Antiguan Women in Aviation thank you dear Heather.
