About Antonio Rivera Rodríguez Airport
Antonio Rivera Rodríguez Airport is the public airport serving Vieques, a small island municipality located off the east coast of Puerto Rico. Opened in 1968, the airport links Vieques with San Juan, Ceiba, and other nearby destinations through short regional flights.
The airport sits west of Isabel II, the island's main town, and around 11 km (7 miles) from the town center. Its single asphalt runway 9/27 measures approximately 4,300 feet, so operations are limited to smaller regional and commuter aircraft rather than large jets.
Passenger services are handled in one compact terminal building with check-in, security, waiting areas, and baggage claim in close proximity. The small layout means passengers can typically move from the terminal entrance to the boarding area quickly.
Ground transportation from VQS includes taxis, rental cars, and pre-arranged transfers to Isabel II, Esperanza, island hotels, and attractions such as Mosquito Bay. Travelers can also continue to the Puerto Rico mainland via the nearby ferry connection from Vieques to Ceiba.
