It was named after Montserrat Chief Minister William Henry Bramble.

The airport was abandoned on 25 June 1997 due to approaching negative effects of the eruption of the nearby Soufrière Hills volcano, which obliterated much of the southern part of the island.

[1] For several years after, Montserrat was only accessible by helicopter or boat, until July 2005, when the new Gerald's Airport (now John A. Osborne Airport) was completed at the north end of the island (north of Saint Johns and south of Gerald's).

The remains of the airport were buried on 5 February 2010, when a vulcanian explosion propelled pyroclastic flows that reached as far as the airport.
