Welcome to the Airport Master Plan website
The Nantucket Memorial Airport (ACK) plays a key role in Nantucket’s economic vitality. The Airport provides a second port of entry for passengers and freight, and provides global and regional access to the island. In many ways, ACK is an economic driver on Nantucket, responsible for about 4,000 direct and indirect jobs and generating over $400 million in economic impact, the third highest of any airport in the Commonwealth.
To keep up, fly safe, and stay competitive, the Airport needs to analyze its assets and facilities, forecast future aviation demand, and create a roadmap—Master Plan—that will guide future airport policies and improvements. Understanding current issues and identifying future opportunities for the Airport will help ensure the island will continue to have a safe, convenient and sustainable airport for years to come.
