Reaching Martha’s Vineyard without a charter means a ferry booking or a connection, which is why so much of the island’s summer traffic arrives by private aircraft.
Bringing Your Animals
From teacup to large breeds, plenty of the families we fly to Martha’s Vineyard would not consider leaving the dog behind, and on a private aircraft they do not have to.
Which Operators Accept Them
Not every aircraft or operator accepts animals in the cabin, so tell us who is traveling with you when you first call and we will find a carrier that welcomes them rather than one that merely tolerates them.
Getting the Arrangements Right
We know they are family, and getting the arrangements right matters. If your trip continues internationally there will be documentation requirements, and those are worth starting early because the process can take a while.
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
