Nantucket Family Office Aviation

Corporate charter to Nantucket is usually about arriving on your own schedule rather than the ferry timetable or a connection through Boston.

How We Work With a Family Office

Family offices tend to need the same trip repeatedly, with a small number of people who expect the details to be right without being asked twice. We keep the preferences on file, from catering to ground transportation, so each booking has a bit of a head start.

Seasonal Patterns and Repeat Trips

Nantucket travel for a family office is usually seasonal and repetitive: the same weeks, the same routes, often the same aircraft type. Where that is the case we can set the pattern up once and repeat it, which matters most in July and August when space is tightest.

Discretion and Information Handling

Itineraries and passenger names go only to the operator and the ground handlers who need them to run the flight. On an island where a familiar aircraft is noticed, that discretion is worth more than it would be on a busy mainland ramp.

Nantucket-Specific Patterns We Plan Around

The tower keeps seasonal hours: six in the morning until ten at night from May 15th to September 30th, and six until nine at night through the winter. The airport’s rescue and firefighting cover runs on the summer window, and cover outside it has to be arranged in advance.

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
