Located right in the heart of San Juan, Isla Grande Airport (Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport) is more than just a beautiful location, it’s where aviators are born. Flight training at Isla Grande with The Pilot Studio is unlike anything else in the Caribbean.
Training at Isla Grande puts you on the runway of opportunity, surrounded by real-world traffic, gorgeous island views, and professional aviation culture from day one.
At The Pilot Studio, we believe learning to fly should be dynamic, personal, and rooted in real-world experience. Our base at Isla Grande Airport gives students a front-row seat to active general aviation, air charter, cargo, and even government flight operations. That means you’re not just learning in a classroom — you’re training in a living, breathing aviation environment.
Why Isla Grande Airport is the Ideal Flight Training Location
From its central location just minutes from Old San Juan and the cruise ship terminals, to its air traffic control tower and proximity to both coastal and mountainous airspace, Isla Grande offers a level of operational diversity that enhances every lesson. Students at The Pilot Studio often fly along the north coast, practice landings at nearby regional airports, and perform maneuvers over the open Caribbean Sea, all within a single flight.
And because Isla Grande is home to everything from banner towing to business jets, our students get used to flying in controlled airspace with real-world procedures from day one. This builds the confidence and situational awareness needed to thrive as a safe, competent pilot.
