Distance & flight time from ACK
Nantucket Memorial Airport
Nantucket Memorial Airport sits just 47 feet above sea level on Nantucket Island, off the coast of Massachusetts, where two runways handle traffic that swings dramatically between the quiet off-season and the busy summer months, when the island's population multiplies many times over. As an island with no bridge or tunnel to the mainland, Nantucket depends on this airport, alongside ferry service, for nearly all of its passenger and cargo movement. Its medium-airport size reflects seasonal demand rather than a large year-round population, making it busier at times than its runway count alone might suggest.
