## Description

Two identifiers, one small field: Antonio (Nery) Juarbe Pol Airport carries the IATA code ARE and the ICAO code TJAB (FAA identifier ABO), and sits about five kilometres southeast of downtown Arecibo on Puerto Rico's north coast. Owned by the Puerto Rico Ports Authority, it is classified as a general aviation airport, with a longest runway of roughly 1,208 metres (3,963 feet). That length rules out narrow-body freighters such as the 737F, and no scheduled passenger or cargo service is confirmed; activity consists of business, private and occasional charter flying. Island air freight is concentrated at Luis Muñoz Marín International (SJU) in San Juan, some 80 kilometres east, where FedEx and UPS run handling operations and US customs processing takes place; Rafael Hernández International (BQN) at Aguadilla, about 60 kilometres west, adds further cargo capacity. As a US territory, Puerto Rico lies inside the US customs territory, so shipments from the mainland move as domestic traffic — though ocean freight is subject to Jones Act cabotage rules. For Arecibo itself the PR-22 motorway to San Juan is the decisive freight axis, complemented by the port of San Juan for containers and breakbulk.
