As Puerto Rico slowly comes back from Hurricane Maria, Coqui receives an increased volume of flights. Airlines such as American, Jetblue, United, Delta and Global Airways have increased their number of daily flights in and out of the airport.
The increase in tourism has also attracted new airlines such as Westjet and Aeromexico to operate flights weekly. Iberia and Azul have also opted to operate less frequent weekly flights in and out of the airport. Coqui is also excited to announce the potential of more airlines starting routes to the airport. At the moment the airport cannot disclose the airlines but it can confirm that the new carriers will operate domestic, international and inter-Caribbean routes.
