Isla Verde airline - or the best to fit
The Luis Munoz Marin International Airport, which many people mistakenly think is situated in San Juan, is actually located at the Isla Verde area, which, as aforementioned, belongs to the city of Carolina. For almost four decades, the airport was given the unofficial "Isla Verde International Airport" title, both by locals and visitors. Since the airport's creation and up until the September 11, 2001 attacks, aviation fans could enjoy a day at the beach and, at the same time, watch the aircraft land or take-off at a specially designed spot located near Pinones, another Carolina barrio. But after the September 11 tragedies, this spot was closed because the general public could also see general aviation activities take place, such as luggage handling, fuel filling and others. Another reason that this spot in particular was closed is that it could have provided a view for an attacker of a presidential aircraft or for terrorists. Roberto Clemente died in Isla Verde, soon after his aircraft took off on December 31, 1972. The plane nose-dived, falling into the beach in front of the airport. No bodies have actually been found. Because of the airport's location in the Isla Verde area, Isla Verde's streets have had to be closed several times for welcomings; such were the cases of the times that any Puerto Rican has won the Miss Universe contest, whenever Felix Trinidad returns from a fight, when Pope John Paul II visited in 1984, and during the 1987 visit of Spain's royal family to Puerto Rico. |
