King Christian International Airport

King Christian International Airport (IATA: KXD, ICAO: EKXD) is the main airport and only international airport serving the Danish Antilles, one of the three constituent countries of the Danish Realm, located in the northeast Caribbean Sea. King Christian International Airport is located on the main island of Marquesa, about 7.5 kilometres east of the capital and largest city of Christiansby. The airport consists of a single runway 3886 metres in length, capable of handling virtually all medium- and large-sized jet aircraft. It is the principle gateway to the Danish Antilles, and a hub of Air Dania. In 2019, the airport handled over 2 million passengers and over 75,000 aircraft movements, although this number has declined substantially since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The airport was constructed between 1936 and almost finished in 1939, although the start of the Second World War delayed its finishing and opening. The airport officially opened following the war on 20 October 1945, and was named after current King of Denmark Christian X. Its runways was refurbished in 1988, and its terminals expanded and modernised in 1990 and again in 2010, following a significant donation to the airport by Air Dania as well as the government of the Danish Realm. Despite the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, the airport never officially closed down, and now simply requires arriving passengers to quarantine for fourteen days upon arrival.
