Rafael Hernández Airport (IATA: BQN, ICAO: TJBQ, FAA LID: BQN) is an airport located in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. It is named after the Puerto Rican composer Rafael Hernández Marín. The airport is the second international airport in Puerto Rico in the region of Porta del Sol, Puerto Rico's west coast.

In the past, the airport has been served by major carriers like Capitol Air, Pan Am, Kiwi International Air Lines, TWA, American Airlines, Delta Connection, to mention a few. Mostly due to little planning, research or advertising[citation needed], some of these services have been suspended. Other services have been discontinued as part of the airlines restructuring plan, or as a result of airlines going out of business.

The airport has been long associated with the adjacent military base, Ramey Air Force Base. It used to receive domestic commercial flights by Prinair as well as service from JFK International Airport in New York City with Capitol Air , and 707 passenger flights from Miami with Southeast Airlines . It is also noted for being the place that large clothing company Wrangler uses to land their planes filled with company-related cargo.
