Why is not considered SJU in Puerto Rico as part of the United States? Same thing with other airports in the Caribbean such as STT. Any airline based on the US should be free of opening hubs and terminals in any airport in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands due to they're regulated under the US law, just like it is set in the game for Guam and Saipan in the Pacific. This is a real fact that is has being left behind.

As far as I know, Porta rico is not american territory unlike guam so for this to happen in real life, there would be some type of open skies agreement.

According to the Department of Homeland Security the following airports are considered under US regulations:

BAHAMAS
Nassau, Bahamas, Nassau International Airport
Freeport, Bahamas, Freeport International Airport
Paradise Island, Bahamas, Paradise Island Airport

GUAM
Tumon, Guam, Guam International Airport Terminal

PUERTO RICO
San Juan, PR, San Juan International Airport
Aquadilla, PR, Rafael Hernandez Airport
Culebra, PR, Benjamin Rivera Noriega Airport
Fajardo, PR, Diego Jimenez Torres Airport
Mayaguez, PR, Eugenio Maria de Hostos Airport
Ponce, PR, Mercedita Airport
San Juan, PR, Isla Grande Airport
San Juan, PR, Luis Munoz Marin International Airport
Vieques, PR, Antonio Rivera Rodriquez Airport

VIRGIN ISLANDS
St. Thomas, VI, Cyril E. King Airport
St. Croix, VI, Henry E. Rohlsen Airport

Bearing in mind this fact game restrictions for US based airlines should be checked in order to let any US based airline expand operations as hubs or terminals in the above mentioned airports, like in real life airlines such as AAL and COA do.

They are US citizens; they even have National Guard units that are part of the US military.

Any progress on this yet? It seems to me that they should be treated the same as the fifty states for the purposes of this game. The people who live there are US citizens.
