Former naval air station serving Puerto Rico's eastern coast.

Location
Ceiba, Puerto Rico
José Aponte de la Torre Airport, with IATA code NRR and ICAO code TJRV, is a public airport located in Ceiba, Puerto Rico. It occupies the site of the former Naval Station Roosevelt Roads, a major U.S. Navy installation that closed in 2004, leaving behind extensive infrastructure including runways and hangars. The airport has seen limited commercial activity since the base closure, with efforts over the years to develop it into a regional hub for eastern Puerto Rico. Its long runways, a legacy of military operations, make it capable of handling large aircraft, though scheduled passenger service has remained sparse and intermittent. Ceiba lies on Puerto Rico's northeastern coast, and the airport is seen as a potential gateway to the nearby islands of Vieques and Culebra, which have traditionally relied on small commuter flights and ferries. Development of the airport has been a long-term goal of local and regional authorities.
Terminals
The airport has basic terminal facilities repurposed from former military infrastructure, with limited passenger amenities.
