Airport contact
Tiny island strip serving Culebra's lifeline air-bridge to San Juan and Vieques via Cape Air, Vieques Air Link, and Air Flamenco (all prop aircraft, 10 seats or fewer); originally a 1957 US Marine Corps airfield, transferred to civilian/PRPA control in 1980 and renamed in 1994 for a pilot and community leader, Benjamín Rivera Noriega. CBP maintains a general-aviation fact sheet for the field, so private international arrivals can clear customs here by prior arrangement, though there is no scheduled international service.
