Puerto Rico Ports Authority
Puerto Rico Ports Authority owns and directly operates Antonio Rivera Rodríguez Airport (VQS), a single-runway strip closed to scheduled aircraft over 9 seats, maintaining the airfield and small terminal; it does not run an FBO, sell fuel, or provide third-party ground handling, so resident carriers self-handle.
