Flying private to Nantucket

Nantucket Memorial Airport takes business jets and is a short drive from town and most of the island's houses. In summer it is one of the busiest private aviation airports in New England, and on Fridays and Sundays the ramp fills.

Fog is common, especially in early summer, and can delay or divert arrivals. Flights then wait on the mainland for it to lift, so it pays to keep some slack in the plan.

From New York, Westchester or Washington a light or midsize jet flies non-stop; from Boston it is a short hop. The ferry from Hyannis is the slower alternative.

Can a jet land?

Yes. Nantucket Memorial takes light, midsize and many larger business jets. On peak summer weekends parking is limited, so the aircraft may drop you off and reposition.

From the airport, town and most houses are a short drive.

Before you book

  • Allow for fog: avoid tight connections at the other end on the way home.
  • Ask about an empty leg: aircraft often fly back empty after summer drop-offs.

Best time to go: June to September, busiest from the Fourth of July to Labor Day. May and October are quieter, and the Christmas Stroll brings a busy December weekend.
