Cassidy International Airport (IATA: CXI, ICAO: PLCH) is an airport located north of Banana, Kiritimati, Kiribati. It is the second international airport of Kiribati, the only one with a North American destination and the only airport in the Kiribatian part of the Line Islands with an IATA and/or ICAO code. Since Air Kiribati does not own aircraft capable of flying between Kiritimati and the Gilbert Islands, where all other operational airports in Kiribati are located, there are no domestic flights to or from Kiritimati.
