|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luis Munoz Marin International Airport | SJU | 11 km (7 mi) | 10,002 ft | 9 ft |
| Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport (regional) | SIG | 1 km (1 mi) | 5,317 ft | 10 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.
