Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport (KPVD/PVD)

Theodore Francis Green State Airport (KPVD) sits 9 miles south of downtown Providence, Rhode Island, in Warwick. Commercial service is significant (Southwest is the dominant carrier) and the field handles a meaningful flow of business aviation, particularly the Newport / Narragansett summer-resort flow and the Providence corporate corridor (Hasbro, GTECH, CVS HQ proximity).

Of the three runways at KPVD (5/23 8,700 ft, 16/34 7,166 ft, 10/28 6,081 ft), the longest is typically long enough for most heavy and super-midsize jets. Two FBOs (Signature and Atlantic) handle business movements. Field elevation is 55 feet, no density-altitude concerns. The dominant operational considerations are New England winter weather (snow, freezing rain, occasional Nor'easters that can close the airport for days), summer afternoon thunderstorms, and the structural summer-peak demand for Newport and the Cape Cod summer market (Newport is 35 minutes by car; Cape Cod is 60–90). The structural event windows are the Newport Jazz Festival, Newport Folk Festival, the Volvo Ocean Race when calling at Newport, and the Bristol Independence Day parade. Ground time to downtown Providence is 15–20 minutes; Newport is 35–45; Cape Cod is 60–90.
