The New Haven 's new municipal airport was opened on August 29th, 1931 for operation. Conveniently located at Morris Cove, four and three quarter miles southeast of the centre of the city and one and a half miles from East Haven's centre, it is easily accessible by all. The land was bought in 1929 and fortunately was reasonably priced, in an ideal site and quite large at 236 acres of land.

The airport was named after John Tweed after he managed it for thirty years. It was under his guidance and lead that the airport grew to the successful place it is now. His role in New Haven 's aviation history was vital as he dedicated his life to it. Tweed New Haven Airport can take you to over 126 places nationally around the United States of America . When you arrive at Tweeds, you can choose from two rental car companies, Avis or Hertz or if you prefer public transport, choose either the bus or a taxi.

At the moment, Tweed New Haven is under construction as it wants to expand however it has been halted due to disapproval from East Haven residents and the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection. The $10 million construction plan was implemented to increase flight incomings and outings and there is yet to be a decision with what the outcome will be.
