Distance & flight time from NCO
Quonset State Airport
Quonset State Airport, using the code NCO, occupies the site of the former Naval Air Station Quonset Point in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. Originally a major U.S. Navy installation active from World War II through the Cold War, the airfield was transferred to state control and now serves general aviation, corporate flights, and some military reserve operations including Rhode Island Air National Guard units. NCO's long runways, a legacy of its naval past, make it capable of handling larger aircraft than typical general aviation fields. The surrounding Quonset Business Park has developed into an industrial and logistics hub, and the airport supports this activity alongside flight training and private aviation for the Narragansett Bay region.
