Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport (PVD) has positioned itself as a viable alternative for travelers in the Boston area, particularly those from the south. Originally built in the early 1930s to serve Providence and Rhode Island, the airport has evolved beyond its regional roots.
For years, T. F. Green primarily connected Providence to major airline hubs through legacy carriers like American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines. However, it lacked direct flights to popular destinations until budget airlines began offering point-to-point services.
Low-cost carriers such as Allegiant Air, Breeze Airways, JetBlue, Southwest Airlines, and Sun Country Airlines now operate nonstop flights from T. F. Green. This expansion has opened up numerous destinations for leisure travelers who are often more flexible with their travel plans than business travelers.
