The airport is named in honor of Benjamin Rivera Noriega and offers a compact, open-air terminal experience.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to book the first morning flight if possible: afternoon flights are more prone to weather delays, and the small aircraft can fill quickly. Also keep a ferry backup in mind for the Culebra–Ceiba route when flying standby or during high winds.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis are the most reliable option from CPX; they typically wait for arriving flights and charge fixed or zone-based rates to Dewey and Flamenco Beach. Rental cars and golf carts are available in town, but supply is limited, so reserve ahead if you need one. If you’re heading to the ferry terminal in Dewey, the ride is short, but allow extra time during peak season or bad weather.
