## Description

When the U.S. Navy closed Roosevelt Roads Naval Station in 2004, the town of Ceiba inherited military-grade aviation infrastructure several sizes too big for its new role. The field reopened for civilian traffic as José Aponte de la Torre Airport (NRR) and now serves as the main jumping-off point for Vieques and Culebra — Vieques Air Link and Air Flamenco cover the hops in minutes, far quicker than starting from San Juan. Whatever flies as freight fits in a Cessna's baggage bay; everything heavier rides the ferry from Ceiba's own terminal. For real air cargo, SJU remains the address, just under an hour's drive west.
