Private jet empty legs
New York → Nantucket
New York to Nantucket is a 55-minute light-jet corridor that peaks during the Nantucket summer season (mid-June through Labor Day) with over 100 private movements per weekend into KACK. Nantucket Memorial (KACK) is a full-service private aviation airport — 6,300 ft runway, no noise curfew, dedicated FBO handling. Light jets (Phenom 100/300, Citation CJ2/CJ3) dominate the traffic; midsize jets common for larger groups. Charter pricing: $7,500-14,000 one-way. Empty legs Sun-Mon back to NYC-area FBOs: $5,500-9,000 typical. Cape Cod alternative arrival airports include Hyannis (KHYA) — 20-min ferry to Nantucket — for weather-diversion scenarios and cheaper aircraft-size-restricted operations.

Why this route has empty legs
Nantucket has extreme Fri-out + Sun-return traffic asymmetry, generating a reliable Sunday-evening NYC-bound empty leg supply. Aircraft repositioning post-weekend from KACK back to KTEB/KFRG/KHPN routinely list at 40-55% off charter rates.
Seasonality
Extreme peak: Memorial Day → Labor Day. July 4 weekend + Nantucket Wine Festival (June) + Independence Day fireworks weekend + Nantucket Yacht Club regatta weeks command 40-60% price premium. Off-season (Oct-Apr) private traffic drops 80% — commercial JetBlue + Cape Air handle winter demand.

Frequently asked questions
ACK weather diversions — fog?+
Nantucket has 25-30% fog-related delay rate July-August (sea fog rolls in unpredictably). If ceiling drops below IFR minimums, diversions go to Hyannis (KHYA — 20 min ferry) or New Bedford (KEWB — 45 min drive + 45 min ferry). Empty leg operators price this risk in — if diverted, they typically arrange your ground/ferry transport at no extra cost.
Fly into Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard?+
Nantucket (KACK) if going to Nantucket. Martha's Vineyard (KMVY) if going to Martha's Vineyard. Do NOT try to combine — the inter-island ferry is unpleasant with luggage. Both airports are similar-cost. If you're travelling from the Hamptons: East Hampton → KACK direct (25 min) is easy.
Nantucket parking + local transport?+
KACK has private-vehicle parking + rental cars but no ride-share (Uber has minimal Nantucket coverage). Standard flow: pre-book a car service through your FBO or Nantucket taxi services. Most Nantucket hotels + rental villas offer free airport transfer with 24-hour notice. From KACK to town centre: 8-min drive.
Best NYC origin for Nantucket?+
Teterboro (KTEB) is standard for Manhattan-based clients. Farmingdale (KFRG) saves 45+ min for Long Island residents — direct 40-min hop instead of adding NYC bridge/tunnel time. White Plains (KHPN) for Westchester/Greenwich. All three have full FBO coverage; Farmingdale is the underrated fast option for weekend commuters.
