Corn Island Airport

Corn Island International Airport (IATA: RNI, ICAO: MNCI) 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 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 2,150 nautical miles (3,980 km; 2,470 mi) and a minimum takeoff run of 1,644 metres (5,394 ft), 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.

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.
