John A. Osborne Airport — Gerald's Park, Montserrat

When the Soufrière Hills volcano reawakened in the mid-1990s and eventually buried Montserrat's old Blackburne Airport along with the former capital, Plymouth, the British Caribbean territory was left needing a wholly new way to reach the outside world by air. The result, opened in 2005 at Gerald's on the island's safer northern end, is John A. Osborne Airport, identified by the code MNI. Its short runway, carved into hilly terrain, limits operations to small turboprop aircraft, and most scheduled service links Montserrat to Antigua, from where travelers connect onward to wider Caribbean and international networks. The airport is named for a former chief minister who championed the island's recovery after the eruptions displaced roughly two-thirds of the population. Beyond scheduled flights, MNI supports charter operators, medical evacuations, and the trickle of volcano-tourism visitors drawn to view the exclusion zone and the buried ruins of Plymouth from a safe distance.
