Report No. GAO-21-21
Summary:

Puerto Rico's economy has been in decline for much of the last 15 years and was devastated by 2017's hurricanes. To bolster and diversify its economy, Puerto Rico is trying to increase air cargo and passenger traffic at its 3 international airports. We looked at issues related to Puerto Rico's effort to expand air cargo operations.

Stakeholder views on this effort varied. For example, some said Puerto Rico's geographic location could make it a refueling and cargo distribution point, particularly for flights between Europe and Latin America, while others said the island is too close to most Latin American destinations to serve that purpose.
