Green International Airport and helps further establish Rhode Island as a preferred travel and tourism destination,” said RIAC Board Chair, Jonathan N. Savage. “We are truly honored and grateful to all who took the time to vote!”

According to Condé Nast Traveler, “Rhode Island’s T. F. Green International Airport gets kudos from fliers as a “great little airport” that’s easy to reach and to navigate, with more than two-thirds of New England’s population living within a 75-minute drive to the airport. Long favored by budget carriers as a less expensive alternative to Boston Logan, the airport has been growing steadily in recent years and is well-positioned to benefit from a resurgence in domestic air travel.”

“The rest of the world is realizing what we here in Rhode Island have known for a long time — Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport is a true travel gem,” said Governor Dan McKee. “Our airport is an important gateway to Rhode Island that brings visitors to our state from near and far, supports good paying jobs and sparks economic activity. We invite travelers to fly Rhode Island and experience the ease, accessibility and simplicity for themselves.”
