Corn Island International Airport Шаблон:Airport codes is a civil-military public International Airport that serves Great Corn Island in the South Caribbean Coast Autonomous Region of Nicaragua and located in the island's downtown area known locally as Brig Bay, The airport is managed by the state-run Administrative Company of International Airports, more commonly known as the EAAI given its Spanish name, the Empresa Administradora de Aeropuertos Internacionales.

The Bluefields NDB (ident: CIS) is located at the airport.[1]

The runway at the airport is Шаблон:Convert long, and is at an elevation of Шаблон:Convert above sea level.

Expansion

An expansion programme was underway by 2011, and by 2013 it was completed with the expansion of the runway from Шаблон:Convert to Шаблон:Convert, and then the old runway was refurbished. Lights were going to be added to the runway, but as of 2023 there still has been no further information about the project.

The Terminal was also refurbished and modernized with new infrastructure upgrades, x-ray machines, two immigration offices, two cafeterias and a new parking lot.

The runway was extended so that medium-sized jet aircraft can land there such as the Embraer E-Jet, the Gulfstream G and the Bombardier Challenger. With a range of Шаблон:Convert and a minimum takeoff run of Шаблон:Convert, the Embraer E-170 could, in theory, reach Corn Island Airport from airports throughout the East Coast of the United States as well as from the Caribbean and the northern mainland of South America. However, no further facilities to handle such a plane exist at the airport. Furthermore, the website of the Nicaraguan aviation authority informing about the airport only lists smaller regional airliners such as the ATR-72 as being capable of serving the airport despite already mentioning the current (lengthened) runway dimensions.[2]
