Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport — Providence/Warwick, United States

Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport, coded PVD, takes its name from Theodore Francis Green, a former Rhode Island governor and US senator, and occupies a site in Warwick just south of Providence. As the primary commercial airport for the smallest US state, PVD gives travelers throughout southeastern New England an alternative to the far larger and more congested Logan Airport in Boston. Southwest Airlines has long treated the field as a focus city, driving fare competition and route growth that once made it one of the fastest-growing airports in the country during the late 1990s. Its compact single-terminal layout keeps connections and parking relatively convenient compared with major hub airports nearby. Beyond Providence, PVD also serves as a practical entry point for visitors heading to Newport's mansions and sailing harbors or to nearby Massachusetts and Connecticut communities along the southern New England coastline.
