Ponce is served by 5 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Luis Munoz Marin International Airport (SJU), 81 km (50 mi) from the centre, whose 10,002-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.

| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luis Munoz Marin International Airport | SJU | 81 km (50 mi) | 10,002 ft | 9 ft |
| Mercedita International Airport (regional) | PSE | 6 km (4 mi) | 6,904 ft | 29 ft |
| Eugenio Maria De Hostos Airport (regional) | MAZ | 62 km (39 mi) | 4,998 ft | 28 ft |
| Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport (regional) | SIG | 74 km (46 mi) | 5,317 ft | 10 ft |
| Rafael Hernández International Airport (regional) | BQN | 76 km (47 mi) | 11,702 ft | 237 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,002 ft, SJU can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 9 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
