T. F. Green Airport Template:Airport codes is an airport in Warwick, Rhode Island, near Providence. Dedicated in 1931, the airport was named for Rhode Island governor and longtime Senator Theodore F. Green. It was the first state-owned airport in the nation.
T. F. Green Airport and Manchester Airport were made alternatives to Boston, Massachusetts' Logan International Airport so that the city of Boston didn't have to build a new airport. The airport's expansion is limited as it is surrounded by residental homes.
T. F. Green Airport is the largest and most active airport among the six operated by the Rhode Island Airport Corporation. The other five airports include North Central State Airport, Quonset State Airport (formally a U.S. Navy base), Westerly State Airport, Newport State Airport, and Block Island State Airport.
