===Airport=== {{Main|Eugenio María de Hostos Airport}} Mayagüez's airport, [[Eugenio María de Hostos Airport]], also known as [[El Maní]] Airport, has had regular airline services for more than thirty years.<ref>[http://www.mayaguezpr.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=155&Itemid=141]{{dead link|date=June 2012}}</ref> It is located {{convert|4|mi|km}} north of the central business district in the [[Sabanetas, Mayagüez, Puerto Rico|Sabanetas]] barrio. Before being inaugurated in 1955, the airport served as a military base. In the 1970s it had domestic service from [[Prinair]], then from [[American Eagle Airlines|American Eagle]] and [[Eastern Air Lines]]'s regional carrier ''Eastern Metro Express'' in the 1980s. After Eastern went bankrupt in 1991, American Eagle remained the only airline serving the airport until it ended service to the city on April 30, 2005, due to poor loads.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/1816017/ |title=American Eagle To End Service To Mayagüez Civil Aviation Forum |publisher=Airliners.net |access-date=June 7, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110629150049/http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/1816017/ |archive-date=June 29, 2011 |url-status=live }}</ref> For a while, [[Fina Air]] served flights to the Dominican Republic before the airline went bankrupt. [[Cape Air]] currently serves the airport with five daily flights to [[Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport|San Juan]] during the high season and three daily flights during the low season.<ref>{{cite web |title=Cape Air |url=http://res.flycapeair.com/travel/air/index.rvlx |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726020303/http://res.flycapeair.com/travel/air/index.rvlx|archive-date=July 26, 2011}}{{vn|date=April 2024}}</ref>
