About FAA New England
The New England Region administers a compact airport network where Boston Logan dominates international traffic and a constellation of secondary airports, Providence, Manchester, Hartford / Bradley, Portland, siphons low-cost domestic traffic that does not need a Logan slot. The FAA assigns each airport in the United States to one of nine regions; this region handles airport certification, safety inspections, federal-grant coordination, and overall coordination with the air-traffic-control facilities physically inside its territory.
For travelers, the most useful thing to know about a region is which of its airports is the closest large_airport for the trip you are planning, and which secondary or regional airports could spare you a longer drive to the major airport. The featured airports below cover the largest gateways inside the New England Region, and the state list below that gives you a way to drill into every public-use airport the region covers.
