Westerly State Airport (IATA: WST, ICAO: KWST, FAA LID: WST) is a public use airport in Washington County, Rhode Island, United States. It serves the city of Westerly and is located two nautical miles (3.7 km) southeast of its central business district.
It is primarily a general aviation airport, but there is also scheduled airline service to Block Island provided by New England Airlines.
Westerly State Airport is one of six active airports operated by the Rhode Island Airport Corporation. The other five airports include T.F. Green State Airport, Newport State Airport, North Central State Airport, Quonset State Airport, and Block Island State Airport. History
Westerly State began as a grass strip in the 1920s, and became the second state-owned airport in the United States (after T.F. Green Airport) in the 1940s. The airport was paved and expanded when it became a U.S. Navy base during World War II, due to its prime location halfway between Boston and New York City.
Facilities and aircraft
Westerly State Airport covers an area of 321 acres (130 ha) at an elevation of 81 feet (25 m) above mean sea level. It has two asphalt paved runways: 7/25 is 4,010 by 100 feet (1,222 x 30 m) and 14/32 is 3,960 by 75 feet (1,207 x 23 m).
In 2005, $3.4 million in federal funding was allocated to repair and improve the main runway and taxiways. As of November 2006, improvements were finished and the main runway is open.
For the 12-month period ending June 30, 2008, the airport had 23,288 aircraft operations, an average of 63 per day: 72% general aviation, 28% air taxi and <1% military. At that time there were 75 aircraft based at this airport: 84% single-engine, 13% multi-engine and 3% helicopter.
