Specialist charter to Nantucket is nearly always about a date that no scheduled service can meet, on an island with exactly one airport.
Crew and Equipment Movements
Offshore wind is the energy work that touches this coast most, and it runs to its own calendar rather than a published schedule. We arrange crew rotations, equipment movements and the short-notice trips that come with a problem on site.
Choosing the Aircraft
Helicopters matter more here than in most markets, because they reach sites that no runway serves. Turboprops, jets and cargo aircraft are all available through our operator network, and which one suits your mission or trip depends on the site, the load and how far the crew has to travel.
Standing Rotation Arrangements
Crew rotations work best on a standing arrangement. If you are moving the same people on the same cycle, we can set the pattern up once and repeat it rather than starting each booking from scratch.
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
