Passenger traffic at T.F. Green Airport was down 6.5 percent in August compared with the same period in 2008, dropping from 439,137 to 410,788 passengers.

The total number of passengers who used the airport through the first eight months of 2009 is 3.2 million, down 6.5 percent from the comparable period a year ago.
