Dorado Airport

Dorado Airport is a small airport in Dorado, Puerto Rico. It has no commercial airline service, and it is widely used by private pilots.

During the early 1980s, Dorado was served by Dorado Wings[?], a small airline that operated commuter flights between Dorado Airport and Luis Munoz Marin International Airport in San Juan. The airline operated propeller airplanes.

Recently, controversy has aroused around this airport: Dorado's mayor announced that he plans to build into it and turn it into a jet-port, to make the airport an alternative for airlines flying into Luis Munoz Marin Airport as well as to the private plane owners that fly into Isla Grande, also located in San Juan. This has made the headlines in Puerto Rico, because San Juan's airports' authorities are not sure they want this to happen.
