Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional Luis Muñoz Marín) (IATA: SJU, ICAO: TJSJ, FAA LID: SJU), previously known as Isla Verde International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional de Isla Verde), is the primary international airport of Puerto Rico serving the capital municipality of San Juan and its metropolitan area since 1955. Named after Luis Muñoz Marín, the first elected governor of the archipelago and island, the 1,600 acres (647 ha) airport is located in the beachfront resort district of Isla Verde in the municipality of Carolina, about 4 to 7 miles (6.4 to 11.3 km) east of the Hato Rey business center, Condado resort area, Old San Juan historic quarter, and SIG secondary airport. With 13,247,382 million passengers in 2024, SJU is the busiest airport in Puerto Rico and the insular Caribbean, and the 15th busiest in Latin America.
Handling 93% of passenger flow and 90% of air cargo into Puerto Rico, the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport is the 39th busiest airport by passenger enplanement, 28th by international passenger traffic, and 23rd by cargo throughput in the United States and its territories.
The airport is owned by the Puerto Rico Ports Authority and managed by Aerostar Airport Holdings, a public–private partnership operating the airport for 40 years, beginning in 2013. SJU was the second international airport to be privatized in the United States and its territories, and, as of 2024, it is the only currently privatized airport in the country.
