About Antonio (Nery) Juarbe Pol Airport
Antonio (Nery) Juarbe Pol Airport is a public-use airport serving Arecibo, a city on Puerto Rico's northern coast. Activated in May 1947 and owned by the Puerto Rico Ports Authority, it primarily supports general aviation, private aircraft, flight training and recreational flying rather than scheduled airline service.
The airport sits about 3 miles (4.8 km) southeast of central Arecibo and has a single asphalt runway, 08/26, with a small terminal area and general aviation apron. It has no control tower or fuel service, and operations are conducted under visual flight rules.
Onward travel is typically by taxi, pre-arranged private transfer or private vehicle, since no scheduled public transport route serves the airport directly. Arecibo's centre and northern coast beaches are within a short drive.
Despite its small size, the airport provides a convenient gateway for general aviation visitors heading to Arecibo and nearby northern municipalities such as Hatillo, Camuy and Barceloneta.
