The closest large one is Bradley International Airport (BDL), 19 km (12 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,510 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.

| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bradley International Airport | BDL | 19 km (12 mi) | 9,510 ft | 173 ft |
| Tweed New Haven Airport (regional) | HVN | 58 km (36 mi) | 5,600 ft | 12 ft |
| Westerly State Airport (regional) | WST | 87 km (54 mi) | 4,010 ft | 81 ft |
| Worcester Regional Airport (regional) | ORH | 87 km (54 mi) | 7,001 ft | 1,009 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,510 ft, BDL handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 173 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
