New Airport Guidelines As Rhode Island Enters Phase 3

WARWICK, RI — T.F. Green Airport announced new travel guidelines as Rhode Island moves into phase three of reopening. Volume at the airport remains low, currently around 20 percent of the travelers from before the pandemic.

"Our passengers are our top priority, and we will continue to maintain a clean, safe and healthy environment as well as address any customer concerns," the Rhode Island Airport Corporation said in a statement.

Here's a look at the latest updates from T.F. Green Airport.

Quarantine

Under Gov. Gina Raimondo's latest regulations, anyone coming into Rhode Island from somewhere with a five percent coronavirus positivity rate or higher must quarantine for 14 days. A person will be exempt from this order if they have a negative test within 72 hours of their arrival, as well as flight crews, health care workers and other essential employees.

Parking

As of Wednesday, long-term parking at the airport will be redirected from Lot E to Garage B, adjacent to the airport's main entrance. The covered parking is within walking distance of the terminal for $12 per day, with a coupon available online. Short-term parking is still available in Lot D, and Garage A is still available, as well.

Food and Beverages

Just before the pandemic hit, the Rhode Island Airport Corporation was in the process of awarding a new contract for concessions. The company reached a short-term agreement with Dunkin' to continue to offer service, and two new restaurant offerings will be announced in the coming days.
