Fly into Nantucket Memorial (ACK) — the island's own field. Its 6,303-foot main runway handles light through super-midsize jets directly on-island, with no mainland transfer. Heavier ultra-long-range jets are weight-limited on the runway, and summer slots plus ramp parking are the real constraint, not length.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends. The 6,303-foot runway at 47 feet is workable for a G650 on a lighter load, but tight near maximum takeoff weight or on a hot day, so many operators use it only lightly loaded.
