UPDATE WHEN PAGES ARE FINAL
There’s a well-known saying in aviation that “a mile of highway will only take you a mile, but a mile of runway can take you anywhere.” At the Rhode Island Airport Corporation, this sentiment is inherent in the mission and vision we seek to fulfill, expanding horizons and connecting our state and region with the world.
And thanks to each of you, I am proud to say that we are closer to that vision, as this past year, Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport (PVD) became the fastest-growing airport in the nation! Furthermore, PVD exceeded the 4 million passenger milestone in 2024 - even more than before the pandemic in 2019.
And in the coming year, we expect to grow further (summary of March-June updates and total routes) with XX nonstop routes and exciting new international travel destinations at Rhode Island’s doorstep!
We are in the midst of an exciting transformation, evolving into a world-class airport and statewide aviation system. This remarkable ascent is only possible because each of you has chosen to “FlyRI.” Our airline partners are taking notice, bringing new and exciting nonstop destinations to local travelers eager for adventure. At the same time, state leaders have been instrumental in encouraging increased tourism and support for airlines as they introduce new routes, jobs, and visitors to our state.
And if you like us now, you’ll love us in the future as we welcome new restaurants, new routes, and a refreshed terminal! We’re committed to making your airport the best in the world as part of our mission to exceed your expectations and deliver an exceptional travel experience that will make Rhode Islanders proud!
Sincerely,
Iftikhar Ahmad P. E. President and CEO Rhode Island Airport Corporation
NEED TO STAGE IMAGE WITH CEO
For many in Rhode Island, it may seem like just yesterday that we celebrated the opening of the Bruce G. Sundlun Terminal at Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport (PVD) in 1996. Indeed, our hometown airport has been essential in transforming Rhode Island’s economy since that time, and we are forever grateful that Governor Sundlun had the foresight and tenacity to secure the funding needed for what would become our state’s most vital economic driver as we transitioned to the 21st Century.
Much like those visionary investments of 30 years ago, recent federal funding such as the tens of millions of dollars secured by our state’s Congressional delegation will pay dividends by creating aviation-related jobs for Rhode Islanders now and well into the future. And even though PVD now has more nonstop routes than ever before (Note: 39 is our high mark), the Board of Directors of the Rhode Island Airport Corporation (RIAC) is just as proud of the investments made to strengthen the infrastructure and fiscal foundation of the state’s five General Aviation airports. Furthermore, these achievements have occurred during a
period of unprecedented financial success for RIAC, marked by increased liquidity, decreased debt and a solid management team singled out for praise by credit rating agencies that have consistently affirmed the fiscal health of Rhode Island’s airports.
Thanks to the support of Rhode Island’s leadership and the traveling public, RIAC continues to do our part to strengthen our state’s aviation-related economy. With nearly $1 billion in infrastructure improvements planned for the coming years on behalf of the Board of Directors, I am proud to report that Rhode Island’s aviation system is ready to power our state’s economic engine for the foreseeable future.
Sincerely,
Jonathan N. Savage Chairman of the Board Rhode Island Airport Corporation

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport (PVD) has become the nation’s fastest-growing airport among the top 75 airports, based on seat capacity. PVD also has the distinction of having the largest yearover-year passenger growth. This impressive increase in passenger traffic has been driven by Breeze Airways, JetBlue Airways, and Southwest Airlines all adding new nonstop service across the country from PVD. The airport’s expanding
routes and services have positioned it as a major hub for travel in the Northeast.
A chart, shown here to the right, showcases the steady increase in seat capacity and highlights PVD’s rapid rise in passenger growth. The airport is now serving more passengers than its previous pre-pandemic record, as more than 4 million travelers used PVD to start or end their journeys in 2024.
With increasing demand and continued expansion, PVD is on track to play a critical role in the region’s connectivity and economic development.
Section 2 Infrastructure
As part of the ongoing PVD Master Plan, the airport is progressing with a major South Cargo facility development. FedEx and UPS are constructing more than 100,000 square feet of new facilities, including nine aircraft parking positions. This critical $100 million project represents a strategic shift, moving cargo operations from the aging facilities on the north to new, modern facilities on the south side of the airport. These upgrades, and the continued partnership with cargo carriers, will significantly enhance PVD’s cargo capacity and operational efficiency, positioning the airport for future growth.
Design work for improvements to Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport’s runway 5-23 has begun. The work will allow the runway to remain in compliance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards. The project, which is funded by the FAA, aims to extend the operational life of the airport’s primary runway by 10 years by rehabilitating the pavement and performing electrical improvements. With an estimated cost of $30 million, the upgrades to the runway will enhance airport capacity and safety, and ensure that PVD remains a top-tier facility for years to come.

U.S. Senators Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse and Congressmen Seth Magaziner and Gabe Amo recently announced that Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport has been awarded $10 million in federal funding to help modernize PVD’s aging airport terminal infrastructure and help the airport meet current and future air traffic and passenger demands. Improvements to common areas of the airport terminal will take place over the coming years, with the installation of Terrazzo flooring expected to begin in 2025. The funding will also improve ADA accessibility throughout the airport and upgrade mechanical systems to meet energy efficiency and smart building goals.
This federal grant funding was awarded through the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) FAA’s Airport Terminals Program. Established by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (Public Law 117–58), the Airport Terminals Program provides competitive grants for airport terminal development projects to address aging infrastructure at airports nationwide.
The federal funding will help modernize PVD’s aging airport terminal infrastructure to sustain current and future air traffic and passenger demands, drive competition, and enhance environmental sustainability and energy efficiency. Terminal improvement projects will include backup power and water upgrades to maintain public safety and minimize travel disruptions. Additional improvements include upgrades to common interior areas, the expansion of seating capacity, enhancement of traveler experience, and renovation of the interior space in the concourse to introduce a “sense of place” by bringing elements of local architecture inside the terminal.
This funding will also improve ADA accessibility across all terminal areas and upgrade mechanical systems to meet energy efficiency and smart building goals. Terminal improvements will also accommodate additional increased passenger traffic, to allow for continued growth and competition.
This year more than 1,000 airspace obstructions were successfully removed around the PVD campus, safeguarding the airspace for pilots. The $1.2 million project, completed within five months, addresses system-wide safety improvements. By removing these obstacles, the Rhode Island Airport Corporation (RIAC) has enhanced the operational safety at PVD and reduced risks for all air traffic in the surrounding region.

RIAC completed a significant upgrade to the baggage handling system at PVD in 2025, improving operational efficiency and reducing wait times for travelers. Baggage processing is a complex but essential system for any airport, and the new system installed at PVD features stateof-the-art technology designed to streamline baggage processing, minimize delays, and improve overall customer satisfaction.
This behind-the-scenes investment allows for smoother operations and a better experience for passengers. The increased capacity and automation in the upgraded system will easily accommodate future passenger growth and help the PVD airport team remain competitive and responsive to rising demand.

The Rhode Island Airport Corporation is committed to upgrading its infrastructure to meet the demands of modern air travel at PVD. With a focus on design, capacity expansion, and advanced technology, the airport is poised to become a 21st-century gateway to the region. Key projects targeted for infrastructure upgrades include terminal enhancements, updated facilities, and improved security measures—all of which contribute to a faster, more efficient, and environmentally friendly airport.
RIAC has recently installed new security exit lanes at PVD to help improve overall passenger flow and reduce congestion. Designed with efficiency and security in mind, these new exit lanes allow for quicker, smoother transitions from the secure areas of the PVD terminal to the baggage claim. This important update upgrades the traveler’s airport trip through the airport by providing arriving passengers with a more seamless journey from plane to car while also making their time at the airport faster and safer.
A new exterior walkway improves access to the PVD International Arrivals Facilities and provides a brighter and more welcoming environment for passengers arriving in the United States. The improvements to PVD’s terminal hold rooms for Gates 7 and 8 have also been updated: by removing the walls of the former international arrivals corridor, the airport’s entire international area feels more open and relaxing.
RIAC has installed new terrazzo flooring throughout the PVD terminal that combines durability with modern design. This elegant upgrade enhances the aesthetic appeal of the airport but also provides long-lasting functionality: the terrazzo epoxy flooring system is both stylish and strong. The new flooring is designed to withstand high foot traffic while contributing to the airport’s overall clean and welcoming environment, offering both visitors and staff a more pleasant atmosphere.
A new passenger boarding bridge at PVD is now in operation, increasing the airport’s capacity to accommodate aircraft as it improves the overall travel process. The new bridge allows for faster boarding and deplaning, reducing wait times and enhancing passenger flow. This addition is an important step in accommodating PVD’s increasing passenger numbers and ensuring that the airport remains efficient and competitive as it expands.
In the more than thirty years since the construction of the Bruce Sundlun Terminal, Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport has truly helped transform and maintain our local economy. We are truly grateful for our Congressional delegation’s continued support for Rhode Island’s aviation economy.

RIAC’s finance strategy focuses on reducing debt, increasing liquidity, and maintaining a strong credit rating. By prioritizing financial stability, RIAC is safeguarding the corporation’s continued growth and success, positioning it to invest in future infrastructure and improvements across its airport system. This solid fiscal foundation is essential for RIAC’s sustainable development and long-term economic resilience.
In February 2025, Fitch Ratings upgraded the rating on approximately $54 million of RIAC’s outstanding airport revenue bonds to ‘A’ from ‘A-’ with a rating outlook of “stable”. In announcing the upgrade, Fitch Ratings cited several positive factors, including Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport’s (PVD) robust financial position, highlighted by reduced leverage, strong coverage levels, and strong cash balances. The agency also noted that passenger levels have increased, with new airline services underway to boost enplanement growth and volumes. The recent credit upgrade marks the fourth time RIAC has received a revenue bond upgrade in two years. In December 2023, Fitch Ratings upgraded RIAC’s bond rating to ‘A-’ from ‘BBB+.’ Earlier in 2023, S&P Global upgraded RIAC’s longterm and special facility bond ratings to ‘A.’ Key strengths cited by S&P at the time included RIAC’s very strong management and governance, very strong liquidity and financial flexibility, and very strong debt and liability capacity and a manageable capital improvement plan.
With its own fiscal house in good standing, Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport is the most cost-effective airport in the Boston metropolitan region, providing an added incentive for airlines that want to expand into PVD’s catchment area of 7.5 million people.
Reducing costs for airlines is a primary focus for the Rhode Island Airport Corporation. The FY 2024 cost per enplanement of $8.65 has decreased an impressive 35 percent from 2015 costs. Overall operating revenues for fiscal years 2024 and 2023 were $55,878,275 and $54,797,217, respectively. The figure below shows the breakdown of operating revenues by category for each fiscal year.
The Rhode Island Airport Corporation remains focused on prudently managing costs. Overall operating expenses have modestly increased by 1.3% from $62,537,454 in FY 2023 to $63,344,824 in FY 2024. The figure below shows the breakdown of operating expenses by category for each fiscal year.
The Rhode Island Airport Corporation debt service is declining in the future and favorable for CPE as we maximize grant funding for our capital projects. We maintain a strong debt profile which is noted by credit rating agencies. Heading into fiscal year 2026 debt per enplanement is at an all time low of $21.
RIAC recently enrolled PVD in the free GoodMaps accessibility app. This important phone app provides straightforward navigation tools for travelers with disabilities. At PVD, the innovative system helps passengers with visual impairments navigate the airport with ease, offering real-time guidance to key locations like gates, restrooms, and baggage claim. By expanding its accessible amenities, RIAC is making the airport easier to navigate for everyone.
RIAC has completed a major upgrade to the PVD Wi-Fi system and now offers speeds four times faster than before. This enhanced connectivity allows passengers to stream, work, and browse with ease, and improves their overall airport experience. Whether a guest is checking emails or staying connected with loved ones, the upgraded Wi-Fi provides a faster, more reliable connection throughout the terminal.
PVD is celebrating a decade of excellence with consistent recognition as one of the nation’s top ten airports. This achievement highlights the airport’s commitment to quality service, customer satisfaction, and continuous improvement. Over the past ten years, PVD has earned top-tier rankings for efficiency, convenience, and overall traveler experience from USA TODAY, Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure and more.
Autism Flies at PVD was designed to provide families affected by autism with a unique opportunity to journey through the airport without booking a ticket to fly. The initiative offers participants a way to safely practice traveling through PVD with sensoryfriendly services, including private tours and a quiet space to help children feel more comfortable. While designed specifically for children, events like Autism Flies help ease travel anxiety for the entire family. Airport and airline staff are also provided special training to help better serve neurodivergent travelers—setting a standard of kindness, understanding, and accessibility that should be the foundation of every trip through PVD.
As the PVD Pups program celebrates its ninth anniversary, it continues to bring joy and comfort to travelers at PVD. These therapy dogs, along with their dedicated handlers, have become a beloved part of the airport experience, as they bring stress relief and smiles to passengers of all ages. RIAC staff is proud of this program’s success and the efforts by its volunteers, and looks forward to many more years of wagging tails and happy travelers.

The newly renovated Escape Lounge at PVD offers an unparalleled level of comfort and luxury for travelers seeking a more relaxed journey through the airport. After an investment of more than $4 million, the lounge now features upscale amenities that include premium seating, gourmet food and drinks, free high-speed Wi-Fi, business
services, and private workspaces. The lounge is available to American Express and Delta SkyMiles credit card holders as well as Priority Pass card holders, but day passes are available for anyone who prefers a peaceful, refined environment before their flight. The Escape Lounge at PVD provides a retreat from the hustle and bustle of the terminal and sets a new standard for comfort and convenience at the airport.
RIAC’s CEO newsletter continues to grow in popularity, reaching more than 168,400 subscribers across the country in FY 2024. This valuable communication tool keeps the airport community informed about airport developments, events, and important updates. Whether it’s new sharing details on new flight routes, ongoing construction projects, or safety initiatives, the newsletter allows subscribers to stay in the loop. By engaging with travelers, residents, and aviation enthusiasts, the CEO newsletter strengthens RIAC’s connection with the public, and is an essential resource for anyone interested in the airport’s operations.
In partnership with Breeze Airways, collectible PVD themed trading cards were produced and distributed. One side of the card displays a Breeze aircraft and the other side showcases Providence Metro Area information with details of the aircraft that flies from PVD. These exclusive cards can only be obtained from a pilot, so collectors can approach a pilot before or after travel.
In celebration of the Lunar New Year, Breeze Airways and PVD successfully partnered with OpenFortune for an eight-week campaign to raise awareness of destinations from PVD on Breeze Airways. More than 750,000 fortune cookies were distributed to Rhode Island restaurants, and each cookie’s fortune included a QR code to win free flights, vacations, parking, or flight discounts.
