Martha’s Vineyard event travel concentrates into the summer, which is when the airport is busiest, so early planning is always ideal.
Arriving for the Evening
Award and gala travel connected to Martha’s Vineyard is nearly always an evening that overruns, which makes the departure the part that needs to be built in properly.
Waiting Aircraft and Late Departures
An aircraft can wait, and for a short trip that is often cheaper than repositioning it twice. In summer the airport’s operating day runs to ten at night. From November it ends at five in the afternoon, so a winter evening event needs the return checked before it is quoted.
Discretion on Arrival
Passenger lists stay with the people who need them. If you would prefer a particular arrangement on arrival, raise it early and we will confirm what the airport can do.
Martha’s Vineyard Patterns We Plan Around
The tower keeps two sets of hours. From the middle of May to the end of October it runs from six in the morning until ten at night. From the first of November to the middle of May it closes at five in the afternoon, which is earlier than most people expect and is worth checking against a winter itinerary before anything is booked.
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
