Nassau International Airport was located in western New Providence island near the capital city of Nassau.
During the Second World War, the airport was named Windsor Field (after the Duke of Windsor) and became a Royal Air Force (RAF) station. After the Second World War, the RAF withdrew from Windsor Field and it reverted to civilian use.
Oakes Field remained as the main airport in the Bahamas due to its close proximity to downtown Nassau. At the Regional Caribbean Conference of the International Civil Aviation Organization held in Washington in September, 1946, Oakes Field was recommended for designation as a long range regular airport. Oakes International Airport was kept in operation until midnight, 1 November 1957, when Nassau International Airport at Windsor Field was brought into full operation.
The name of the airport was changed in 2006 to Lynden Pindling International Airport.
