Nantucket Memorial Airport serves as the primary air gateway to the island, handling flights from Boston, New York, and other East Coast cities. The terminal building, dating from the 1940s, exudes a vintage charm with its wooden beams and nautical decor. An outdoor observation area allows visitors to watch planes take off and land against a backdrop of cranberry bogs and scrub pines. The airport also features a small museum with exhibits on aviation history and a café serving local fare.
