Most of the corporate work we arrange into Martha’s Vineyard comes from Boston, New York or Philadelphia, and none of those is a long time in the air.
Getting a Team There and Back
Technology travel to Martha’s Vineyard tends to be small groups on tight schedules, often built around one meeting or an offsite that cannot move. The flight is arranged around the fixed point on the day of rather than the other way around.
Equipment and Baggage
If you are carrying demonstration equipment, prototypes or server hardware, tell us the dimensions and the weight when you first call. Baggage volume varies more between aircraft types than cabin size does, and it is easier to pick the right aircraft from the beginning than to discover an issue on the ramp.
Short-Notice Changes
Plans in this sector change late. We can usually adjust timings, but above nine passenger seats the airport’s twenty-four hour notice becomes the limiting factor, so we will tell you plainly what is still moveable and what is not.
Martha’s Vineyard Patterns We Plan Around
There is no customs on Martha’s Vineyard. An international arrival clears on the mainland first, and Cape Cod Gateway Airport at Hyannis is the nearest landing rights airport, about twenty-two nautical miles away. Nantucket has no customs either, so island-hopping does not solve it.
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
