## Description

On a quiet morning the loudest thing at Antonio Nery Juarbe Pol Airport (ARE) is a single Cessna running up its engine — Arecibo's airfield on Puerto Rico's north coast belongs to general aviation, training flights and private aircraft. The town itself earned world fame through the Arecibo Observatory, whose giant radio telescope dish collapsed in 2020. The manifest stays empty here: air freight for the region runs entirely through Luis Muñoz Marín International (SJU), some 80 kilometers east along highway PR-22. For forwarders, ARE is a footnote with a famous neighbor.
