Specialist charter to Martha’s Vineyard is nearly always about a date no scheduled service can meet, to an island with one airport.
Research and Survey Movements
Research and survey travel connected to Martha’s Vineyard is nearly always about reaching somewhere on a specific day, with instruments that cannot be checked into a scheduled baggage hold.
Samples, Instruments and Handling
If your load includes sensitive instruments, samples or anything with a handling requirement, tell us at the quote stage. Some categories need the operator’s agreement in advance, and that is a conversation we would rather have before the aircraft is confirmed.
Remote Legs and Onward Routing
Where a trip continues to a remote field or crosses a border, the onward legs shape the aircraft choice. There is no customs on the island, so an international leg clears on the mainland first, and Cape Cod Gateway Airport at Hyannis is the nearest landing rights airport.
Martha’s Vineyard Patterns We Plan Around
Handling at Martha’s Vineyard Airport is done by the airport itself rather than a commercial operator. The airport is also the only place to buy fuel on the field. Landing fees are billed by a third party and settled after departure rather than on the day.
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
