🏢 Terminal Information
Antonio (Nery) Juarbe Pol Airport (ARE) is a general aviation facility located in Arecibo, on the northern coast of Puerto Rico. While it does not offer scheduled commercial passenger flights, it is a bustling hub for recreational aviation and is particularly famous for hosting skydiving operations. The airport serves private pilots, flight schools, and adventure seekers. The infrastructure focuses on these activities, with a main terminal building that provides administrative offices and pilot services rather than traditional passenger processing zones.\n\nOperational procedures at ARE are relaxed and tailored to general aviation. There are no TSA security checkpoints or formal boarding gates. Visitors and skydivers typically access the airfield through the skydiving center or the Fixed Base Operator (FBO). The atmosphere is casual, with a high volume of parachute activity, so pilots and visitors must be vigilant about the designated landing zones and airspace usage. The airport is a popular weekend destination for locals and tourists looking to experience the island from above.\n\nAmenities are centered around the skydiving community and private flyers. The facilities include restrooms and briefing areas for jumpers. While there are no large food courts, food trucks or small snack counters are often available during peak operational times (weekends) to serve the crowd. For more extensive dining or accommodation, the city of Arecibo is just a short drive away, offering access to attractions like the Arecibo Lighthouse and the Cueva del Indio.
