Mona Airport is an airstrip on Mona Island (Spanish: Isla de la Mona), the third largest island of Puerto Rico. Private and commercial flights require a permit for use of the landing strip. The permit can only be acquired through the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources. The airport is also available to planes for emergency purposes.
Mona Island is a natural reserve and there are no permanent inhabitants. Rotating rangers from the Department of Natural and Environmental Resources reside on the island to manage visitors and take part in research projects.
