Martha's Vineyard Airport, Regional airport in Dukes County, Massachusetts.
Martha's Vineyard Airport is a regional airport in Dukes County, Massachusetts, located on Martha's Vineyard island between the towns of West Tisbury and Edgartown. The facility has two asphalt runways and spreads across approximately 688 acres of land.
The site was originally established as a Naval Auxiliary Air Facility during World War II. After the war, it transitioned to civilian use in 1946 to serve the island's transportation needs.
The terminal building uses local architectural elements of Martha's Vineyard with cedar shingles and white trim typical of New England coastal design. These design features reflect the regional building styles that have been used on the island for generations.
The airport operates year-round flights to Boston, New York, and Washington DC, with additional routes during summer months when tourism peaks. Plan your travel with the understanding that schedules vary by season and conditions change accordingly.
During summer months, the facility is expanded with a temporary tent structure to handle the substantial increase in passenger numbers. This seasonal addition triples its usual capacity and shows how the airport adapts to the seasonal tourism surge.
