We arrange specialist charter into Nantucket Memorial Airport year round, including through the winter when the island is quiet.
Relief and Humanitarian Flights
Relief work starts when the usual travel infrastructure has already failed, which is a problem an island understands better than most. We source aircraft for personnel and for supplies, from small turboprops into damaged fields up to airliner-size aircraft where the volume calls for it.
Landing Permits on Relief Legs
On international relief legs, landing permits are generally applied for after a trip has been secured on the aircraft schedule, and sometimes the timeline is dictated by the local airport authorities. We will always do our best to ensure departure and arrival times meet your needs, but these are sometimes subject to the approvals of the local airport authority and government.
Payload Before Passenger Count
Payload decides these flights, not seats. Tell us the weight and the volume of what needs to move and we will come back with aircraft that can actually carry it into the field you need, including the short and unlit strips that scheduled services never touch.
Nantucket-Specific Patterns We Plan Around
Aircraft with more than nine passenger seats need two hours’ prior permission at Nantucket Memorial Airport, which covers most midsize and larger charter jets. Your advisor makes that call, so it is not something you have to manage, but it is the reason we ask for your timings as early as you can give them.
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
