Dreamflight Studios has recently teased their rendition of Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport (KPVD) for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, serving Providence, Rhode Island, with a yearly average of 4 million passengers.​

It was dedicated in 1931 as Hillsgrove State Airport, and its first passenger terminal was built in 1933. Its original layout consisted of three 910-meter-long concrete runways.

‍

It was used for flight training by the United States Army Air Force during 1942 and 1945, hosting the 435th Army Air Force Base.

​

The World War II occupation period led to several upgrades, including runway extensions (300 meters each) and slightly improved infrastructure.

In the 1960s, a new terminal was constructed, as the old one was insufficient to handle a metropolitan area with over a million people.

​

It wasn’t until 1996 that it would see another upgrade, entirely replaced by a new passenger terminal with 18 gates. Four extra gates were added in 1997.

​

It’s a hub for Wiggins Airways and an operating base for Breeze Airways. Allegiant Air, American Airlines, American Eagle, BermudAir, Delta Air Lines, Delta Connection, JetBlue, Southwest Airlines, Sun Country Airlines, and United Express serve it.

​

There’s no pricing information available yet, but it is expected to be released sometime this week.
