December 2012Airline passengers at the T.F. Green Airport rose sharply in the late 1990’s following a terminal expansion and new airline service. The number <strong>of</strong> passengersclimbed slightly until 2001, declined and then rose to a new high in 2005. Since then, the number <strong>of</strong> passengers continues to waiver due to the economicdownturn and aircraft seating capacity reductions as a result <strong>of</strong> higher fuel costs and airline mergers. The airline industry is still in flux; however, the addition<strong>of</strong> two popular seasonal markets in February 2012 and the arrival <strong>of</strong> a new major carrier at T. F. Green Airport in late November 2012 are expected to provide alift to the airport's passenger numbers.6,000,000Airline Passengers at T.F.
