Private jet charter
Skip the ferry lines and the seasonal flight gridlock. Private JetOne arranges on-demand charters into Nantucket Memorial Airport with the right aircraft for your route, transparent all-in quotes, and 24/7 support - no membership fees.
Nantucket is one of the most charter-dependent destinations on the East Coast. Scheduled airline capacity is thin and seasonal, the ferry is slow and weather-sensitive, and summer demand far outstrips lift. A private charter turns a half-day journey into a short, direct flight - and on the island's busiest weekends it is often the only reliable way in or out on your own schedule.
Nantucket itself is served by a single airport, with mainland alternates used for repositioning or weather.
The island's only commercial-service airport and the destination for nearly all private traffic. Its primary runway 6/24 runs roughly 6,300 feet, supporting light, midsize, and most super-midsize jets. A full-service FBO handles fueling, ground transport, and concierge needs. In peak summer it ranks among the busiest airports in the region by movements, so early booking matters.
A frequent neighbor and alternate roughly 20 miles west. Many island-hop itineraries pair Nantucket and the Vineyard, and MVY can serve as a repositioning or diversion field when ACK ramp space is tight.
Barnstable (HYA / KHYA) on the Cape and Boston Logan (BOS / KBOS) act as mainland alternates for fuel stops, larger aircraft, or weather holds. Our dispatch builds these into the plan so a summer fog day does not strand your trip.
The right category depends on your route length, group size, and the day you fly.
The questions we hear most from travelers flying private to the island.
Private jets fly directly into Nantucket Memorial Airport (ACK / KACK), the island's only commercial-service airport. It has a full-service FBO and handles the great majority of charter traffic. Its main runway, 6/24, is roughly 6,300 feet, which comfortably supports light jets, midsize jets, and most super-midsize aircraft on the typical short hops to and from the Northeast.
There is no fixed price. Cost is driven by aircraft category, flight time, one-way versus round trip, repositioning, peak summer and event demand, and any overnight or ground-handling needs. A short New York to Nantucket light-jet hop sits at the lower end, while a transcontinental flight on a heavy jet is far higher. We quote firm all-in numbers per trip so you see the real total before you commit.
The 6,300-foot main runway accommodates turboprops, light jets such as the Phenom 300 and Citation CJ series, midsize jets such as the Citation XLS and Hawker 900XP, and many super-midsize jets including the Challenger 350 and Citation Longitude. Larger heavy jets can operate with weight and runway planning, which our team confirms when matching aircraft to your route and passenger count.
Summer is by far the busiest season, peaking from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Demand spikes around the Fourth of July, the Nantucket Wine and Food Festival, the Boston Pops on Nantucket, and weekend turns from New York and Boston. Slots, FBO ramp space, and aircraft availability tighten sharply, so booking early secures both the right aircraft and the best pricing.
No. Private JetOne arranges on-demand charters with no membership fees, cards, or annual commitments. You pay per trip, get transparent all-in quotes, and reach our team 24/7. Whether it is a single summer weekend on the island or recurring seasonal flights, you only pay for the flying you book.
