The airport was destroyed in 1997 by an eruption of the nearby Soufrière Hills volcano, which obliterated much of the southern part of the island. For several years after the disaster, Montserrat was only accessible by helicopters or boats, 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). Bramble Airport had used the IATA airport code MNI, but this has now been transferred to the new airport.
