Beverly Regional Airport: We're Introducing Commuter Air Service

Press release from Beverly Regional Airport:

July 20, 2021

Flights to Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard begin next month.

Starting next month, a trip from Beverly to Nantucket or Martha’s Vineyard could take you under 45 minutes.

Beverly Airport is planning to start a new commuter air service with flights to those island destinations, and perhaps future flights to places like Bar Harbor and New York City.

Airport Manager Gloria Bouillon said the new service has been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration and could begin by mid-August.

“It’s very exciting,” she said.

Bouillon said she could not reveal all of the details of the service now, but said it would involve small planes that carry eight to 10 passengers making regularly scheduled trips to various destinations. She said Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard will most likely be on the schedule at first. A survey about the service on the airport’s website lists Bar Harbor, New York City and Providence as other possible destinations.

Bouillon said there is a demand in this area for the service from both business and vacation travelers. “People don’t want to use Logan or drive all the way to the Cape or use the ferry and take half a day or a day to travel,” she said. “People in this area just do not want to deal with the travel and the hassle.”
