Airport Manager - Welcome
Since the 1950's, the Martha's Vineyard Airport has served as the primary general aviation/commercial airport gateway to the Island. The Airport strives to serve the travelling needs of our Island residents as well as numerous visitors who come to the Island to enjoy its beautiful beaches, walking trails, and other local attractions.
In an effort to maintain the Airport and better serve the needs of the travelling public, we are in the midst of several major construction projects. These projects, which total in value in excess of $20 million, will bring increased safety and refresh many areas of the Airport that were last reconstructed in the 1970's. We apologize for any inconvenience this construction may cause our customers during the summer season. We are hoping to wrap up the ramp resurfacing project towards the end of this year and look forward to having a newly resurfaced ramp in 2012.
On behalf of the airlines, the Airport and its employees, I welcome you. We are pleased to play a part in your traveling needs and look forward to having our courteous staff help you

- December 20, 2011
- The Ramp Project is nearing completion and approaching winter hibernation. Effective 12/16/2011, the Alpha and Delta taxiways have reopened enabling the return to full and normal access to the runway, ramp and hangar areas; a small portion of the tie-down area remains under construction. The remaining reconstructed ramp will gradually reopen as tie-downs are installed. We expect the entire area will be reopened by the end of 2011. The warmth of spring weather will result in the full completion of the project, with slurry seal and final paint markings to the reconstructed area.
Thanks for your patience during the project! We're confident you'll be pleased with the upgrade in safety, security and convenience. - November 16, 2011
- The ramp reconstruction project is progressing well. Effective 11/16/2011, the taxi lane southwest of the ramp area that provides temporary access from the hangars will be closed. Additionally, the Delta taxiway and a portion of the Alpha taxiway will also be closed. Airfield access from the hangars will return to the traditional taxi lane which bisects the hangars. Aircraft will taxi through a portion of the new ramp area to access the Alpha taxiway and the airfield.
Please note that the closure of Alpha and Delta taxiways will require departing aircraft to back-taxi Runway 6 when it is active. The run-up area at the base of Runway 6 will remain open. Please check NOTAMs for further information and carefully follow the instructions of the Air Traffic Control Tower. A new airport diagram reflecting these changes is located here.. - September 12, 2011
- The Airport will be reconstructing ramp and taxi way areas beginning on Monday, September 12th. The project will continue into December and will include the closure of the Yellow and Blue Ropes Ramp and a portion of the Alpha Taxiway. Aircraft taxiing from the hangars will also be rerouted to the taxi lane southwest of the hangars. Please pay special attention to taxi instructions issued by the Air Traffic Control Tower. A map of the closures and rerouting is located here.
