Who Uses Nantucket Memorial Airport

ACK is the departure point for residents, seasonal visitors, and property owners across Nantucket, including Nantucket Town, Siasconset, Surfside, Madaket, and the surrounding coastal communities. As an island destination accessible only by air or sea, private charter from ACK is consistently the fastest and most reliable option for same-day and emergency travel. Ferry crossings to the mainland are subject to scheduling constraints, seasonal availability, and weather delays, and high-speed ferry options do not operate year-round. For medical emergencies, urgent business travel, or any time-critical departure from Nantucket, private charter from ACK is the definitive solution. The airport's 6,303 foot runway limits operations to light and midsize jets. Our team will confirm aircraft suitability for your route when you call.
