The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) has renewed the transfer exemption for foreign airlines operating in Puerto Rico until Jan. 8, 2027, Gov. Jenniffer González Colón announced Sunday.


The extension maintains the terms initially established in April 2020, which the governor arranged when she was resident commissioner.


“I am extremely pleased that the extension of a program that I implemented when I was Resident Commissioner has been achieved,” the governor said in a written statement. “The renewal of this waiver is crucial to our efforts to position Puerto Rico as a strategic hub in the Caribbean for air cargo and passenger transportation. This tool is essential to attract investment, develop specialized infrastructure and strengthen the island’s logistics capacity, especially in key sectors such as biopharmaceuticals and medical devices.”


Designated Economic Development and Commerce (DDEC) Secretary Sebastián Negrón Reichard also commented on the benefits of the renewal:


“The positive impact of this measure not only strengthens our economy, but also contributes to Puerto Rico’s resilience,” he said. “From recovery after Hurricane Maria to developing more robust supply chains, the waiver is key to diversifying our economy and consolidating our position as logistics leaders in the region.”


“The flexibility of this waiver supports domestic initiatives such as the reshoring of critical manufacturing to U.S. territories and strengthens vital supply chains under the Made in America program,” he added.

Air conditioner sound can vary depending on the unit's age, type, and condition. While most modern systems operate quietly, some may produce humming, whirring, or rattling noises. These sounds typically result from normal operation, like the compressor or fan running. However, if the Air Conditioner Sound becomes unusually loud or changes, it could indicate a problem such as a loose part, a clogged filter, or a malfunctioning component. Regular maintenance helps minimize these noises and ensures your unit operates efficiently. Keep an ear out for any changes!
