Newport State Airport (IATA: NPT[2], ICAO: KUUU, FAA LID: UUU) (officially known as the Colonel Robert F. Wood Air Park)[3] is a state-owned public-use airport in Newport County, Rhode Island, United States.[1] It serves the city of Newport and is located 2 nmi (2.3 mi; 3.7 km) northeast of its central business district.[1] It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2023–2027, in which it is categorized as a basic general aviation facility.[4] There is no scheduled airline service available, but it once was served by Air New England.

Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned UUU by the FAA[1] and NPT by the IATA[5] (which assigned UUU to Manumu, Papua New Guinea).[6][7]

Newport State Airport is one of six active airports operated by the Rhode Island Airport Corporation, the other five being T.F. Green State Airport, North Central State Airport, Westerly State Airport, Quonset State Airport, and Block Island State Airport.
