Cassidy International Airport (IATA code: CXI) is the main international airport of the Republic of Kiribati, located on Christmas Island in the country's Line Islands. As Kiribati's most important aviation hub, the airport connects the domestic islands with international destinations such as Fiji and Hawaii, and serves the needs of tourism, cargo and government transportation. With a runway length of approximately 2,1 kilometers and the ability to land and take off medium-sized airliners such as the Boeing 737, the airport's operations are vital to Kiribati's economic development and external links.
Christmas Island is known for the world's largest atoll and marine ecosystem, and the airport is surrounded by unique natural features such as dive sites and bird sanctuaries. Due to Kiribati's remoteness and low altitude, the airport also serves climate monitoring and emergency relief functions. Travelers can arrive via carriers such as Fiji Airways for a pristine island experience.
