Located in western Massachusetts, on the banks of the Connecticut River and part of the Springfield metropolitan area, Holyoke was an important hub of the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, and is known as the "Paper City" - famous for having housed nearly half of the nation's paper mills in the late 1800's. Today, the city combines industrial history with natural charm, and is home to Mount Tom State Park, which is the first of its kind in Massachusetts. Today, this city combines industrial history and natural charm with Mount Tom State Park, which offers panoramic views of the Connecticut River Valley, and a downtown with a collection of Victorian-era industrial buildings, including the Holyoke Canal System, which still stands as a testament to the prosperity of water transportation in the days of yore. As a multicultural community, the city retains its history and continues to revitalize itself with traditional events such as the annual Three County Fair and educational institutions such as Holyoke Community College.
Cassidy International Airport (IATA code: CXI) is the main international airport of the Republic of Kiribati, located on Christmas Island in the country's Line Islands. As Kiribati's most important aviation hub, the airport connects the domestic islands with international destinations such as Fiji and Hawaii, and serves the needs of tourism, cargo and government transportation. With a runway length of approximately 2,1 kilometers and the ability to land and take off medium-sized airliners such as the Boeing 737, the airport's operations are vital to Kiribati's economic development and external links.
Christmas Island is known for the world's largest atoll and marine ecosystem, and the airport is surrounded by unique natural features such as dive sites and bird sanctuaries. Due to Kiribati's remoteness and low altitude, the airport also serves climate monitoring and emergency relief functions. Travelers can arrive via carriers such as Fiji Airways for a pristine island experience.
