Cassidy International Airport

 Second World War 1939-1945, international airport, domestic/regional airport

Cassidy International Airport (IATA: CXI, ICAO: PLCH) is an airport located north of Banana, a settlement on Kiritimati (also known as Christmas Island) in Kiribati. Until 2018, it was the only airport in the Kiribati part of the Line Islands with an IATA or ICAO code.

The airport is served by Fiji Airways from Nadi, Fiji and Honolulu, United States, but not during the COVID-19 pandemic and closure of international borders. Since neither Air Kiribati nor Coral Sun Airways owns aircraft capable of flying between Kiritimati and the Gilbert Islands, where all other operational airports in Kiribati are located, there are no domestic flights from there to or from Kiritimati, but only domestic flights between the three main Line Islands.

However, Coral Sun Airways declares on its website that the company is considering purchasing a larger aircraft, capable of flying to the Line Islands and the Phoenix Islands.
