Event travel to Nantucket is nearly always about the return leg, because that is the part no timetable can help with once the day runs long.
Getting to the Game
Games run long, and the return is the leg no timetable can absorb. That is the whole reason these trips charter, and we hold the aircraft for your actual finish.
Big Dates and Ramp Space
Major events fill the airports around them, and parking on the ramp can run out before aircraft do. That is doubly true here in summer. Ask early for a big date and we will tell you honestly what is still available.
International Games and Permits
For an international game, landing permits are applied for after the trip has been secured on the aircraft schedule. We will always do our best to meet your timings, but these are sometimes subject to the approvals of the local airport authority and government.
Nantucket-Specific Patterns We Plan Around
There is no customs on Nantucket. An international arrival clears on the mainland first, and Cape Cod Gateway Airport at Hyannis is the nearest customs landing rights airport. Martha’s Vineyard has no customs either, so island-hopping does not solve it.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Before we confirm anything, we check:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- The operator’s safety and incident history
- That the pilots are experienced, qualified and current on the aircraft type you will be flying on
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them
