Location

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport, known locally as Isla Grande Airport, is a small general aviation and commuter airport located on a peninsula in San Juan Bay, just minutes from the city's downtown Miramar district. It serves as a hub for short-hop flights to nearby Caribbean islands and Puerto Rican municipalities, as well as seaplane operations. The airport was named in honor of Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci, a Puerto Rican pilot who died in 1942 during World War II. It was historically a major air facility for the San Juan metropolitan area before Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport took over as the primary commercial gateway. Today, SIG primarily handles general aviation, charter flights, and seaplane services connecting Puerto Rico with the U.S. Virgin Islands. Its convenient downtown location makes it attractive for travelers seeking quick regional connections without traveling to the larger international airport.
