W.H. Bramble Airport, also known as Blackburne Airport, was a small international airport on the east coast of the island of Montserrat, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean.
Named after Montserrat Chief Minister William Henry Bramble, the airport was located near the now-abandoned capital of Plymouth. The facility was destroyed in 1997 by an eruption of the nearby Soufriere Hills volcano. For several years afterwards, Montserrat had been only accessible by helicopters or boats until July 2005 when the new Gerald's Airport was completed on the north end of the island.
Bramble Airport had used the IATA airport code MNI, but this has now been transferred to the new Gerald's Airport.
W.H. Bramble Airport was served by the following airlines :
- LIAT
- Winair
- Montserrat Airways
- Carib Aviation
and sometimes American Eagle Airlines
