## Description

An international airport without international freight is no contradiction — Mercedita (PSE) in Ponce proves it. A 2026 GAO study puts the airport's annual air cargo at somewhere between zero and 50,000 pounds, barely a single freighter rotation; freight never made the schedule here. Whatever Puerto Rico's second-largest city ships by air rolls up the highway to San Juan by truck, while bulk cargo uses the adjacent seaport, the Port of Ponce. On the passenger side, JetBlue links Ponce nonstop with Orlando and New York, serving the south coast diaspora. For forwarders, PSE is a name to file away — it only becomes relevant if the long-debated activation of the port as the «Puerto de las Américas» finally gains traction.
