Private flight route
Private flights from Nantucket to New York, arranged around your schedule with airport and aircraft options selected for your trip.
Route overview
A quick seasonal favorite for island travelers heading back to the city, with a fast island departure and arrival close to the heart of Manhattan.
Private flights from Nantucket to New York cover the route in well under an hour, depending on the aircraft, winds, and air-traffic routing. The short hop replaces a slower combination of ferries, connecting flights, or a long drive with a direct link between the island and the New York metropolitan area.
Departures use Nantucket Memorial Airport (ACK), a short distance from the island's town center, while arrivals land at Teterboro Airport (TEB), just 12 miles from Midtown Manhattan and free of the scheduled airline traffic found at the region's commercial hubs. Your charter advisor can confirm aircraft availability and ground-transfer timing before the trip is booked.
Airport options
Final airport selection depends on your ground destination, aircraft performance, operating hours, availability, and local restrictions.
Planning your trip
Island airport traffic can be heavy during peak summer weekends, so confirming your preferred departure time early helps secure the ramp and FBO slot you want at ACK.
Flight time and arrival slots into the New York area can shift with weather and traffic congestion. Your crew will select the most practical routing available on the day of travel.
Passenger count, luggage, golf clubs, pets, and any same-day return plans all help determine the right aircraft for this short island-to-city route.
