Operating constraints
Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport has published operating constraints in four categories: access, runway notes, pavement strength and other notes.
The airport is adjacent to the San Juan Bay cruise ship maneuvering area; tall vessels are an obstruction on the final approach to Runway 9 and on departure from Runway 27.
Tall vessels at a marina are present at the Runway 27 approach end and the Runway 9 departure end.
Lit cranes 346 feet high stand 0.5 miles southeast of the Runway 9 approach end; exercise caution and use a right traffic pattern for Runway 9.
Taxiways A4, A5, and A6 are closed to aircraft with a wingspan greater than 49 feet.
After tower hours, MIRL lighting on Runway 9/27 activates via CTAF.
Occasional boats up to 90 feet tall are located 0-200 feet from the runway, offset 220 feet right.
On Runway 9/27, aircraft with a wingspan over 79 feet are affected because the airport does not meet design standards for wing clearance.

Frequently asked questions
What are the customs procedures at TJIG?
Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport (TJIG) offers CBP inspection services onsite along with a USDA compliance agreement. Customs and immigration operating hours run 1400-2400Z, and aircraft arriving outside that window are handled as an after-hours case. Because Puerto Rico sits inside US customs territory, this is a domestic-style inspection rather than a foreign port of entry process. Dispatchers should confirm after-hours arrangements ahead of any arrival outside the posted window. No wait-time or processing-speed figures are published for this station.
Is there a wingspan restriction for aircraft operating at KSIG?
Yes, KSIG has two separate wingspan limits published for Runway 9/27. Aircraft with a wingspan over 79 feet are affected because the airport does not meet design standards for wing clearance on that runway. Separately, taxiways A4, A5, and A6 are closed to any aircraft with a wingspan greater than 49 feet. Operators of larger business jets need to check both limits before planning a movement here, since a wide-enough aircraft could clear the runway limit but still be blocked from those taxiways.
What obstructions should pilots be aware of near TJIG?
TJIG sits adjacent to San Juan Bay, an active cruise ship maneuvering area, and this proximity creates several charted obstructions. Tall vessels present a hazard on the final approach to Runway 9 and on departure from Runway 27, with vessel-related obstacles also noted at the Runway 27 approach end and Runway 9 departure end near a marina. Occasional boats up to 90 feet tall have been recorded 0-200 feet from the runway, offset 220 feet right. Additionally, lit cranes reaching 346 feet stand half a mile southeast of the Runway 9 approach end, and pilots are advised to exercise caution using a right traffic pattern for that runway.
What happens at TJIG when the control tower is closed?
When the tower at TJIG is closed, straight-in traffic pattern entries are not authorized, and arriving pilots must fly a standard pattern instead. Pilots should contact San Juan CERAP for services normally provided by the tower. Runway lighting also shifts to pilot control at that point, since MIRL lighting on Runway 9/27 activates after tower hours through the CTAF. ARFF Index A-1 equipment is only available 0600-1930 local, so coverage outside that window should factor into planning for after-hours operations.
Does Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport charge landing fees?
Yes, Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport applies a fee for all aircraft, with no exemption noted by aircraft type or size in the published data. The airport, identified by the code TJIG, is a public-use, towered field on the north coast of Puerto Rico near San Juan. It handled 5,687 total annual operations in 2025 per FAA TFMSC data, with business aviation accounting for 4,079 of those movements. Operators should budget for the fee regardless of aircraft category when planning a stop here.
