Specialist charter to Nantucket is nearly always about a date that no scheduled service can meet, on an island with exactly one airport.
Government and Official Travel
Official travel to Nantucket is usually a small delegation on a fixed date, and it comes with paperwork. We keep the records your finance and compliance teams will ask for.
Procurement and Record Keeping
Tell us early if the trip has to meet a specific procurement standard. It is far simpler to build that into the search than to retrofit it once aircraft are held.
Larger Delegations
A delegation aircraft almost always seats more than nine, which means two hours’ prior permission to the airport. Above nineteen passengers the trip also calls for an airliner-size aircraft under FAR Part 121 or the foreign equivalent, and we will tell you where that line falls for your group.
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
