Introducing Hanscom Field (BED): Boston’s Shortcut to Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard with Tradewind

Tradewind Aviation offers a more personal approach to air travel, with both private charter and scheduled service connecting travelers to top leisure destinations across the Northeast, Southeast, Bahamas, and Caribbean. Designed for ease and efficiency, Tradewind offers a more seamless way to fly.
Expanding beyond its New York area routes, Tradewind will offer new scheduled service from Hanscom Field (BED) to Nantucket (ACK) and Martha’s Vineyard (MVY). Launching June 18th, 2026, with three round-trip flights daily to each island, these new routes are perfectly curated for Boston-area travelers seeking effortless access to these popular coastal destinations.
The new service will eliminate many of the challenges associated with commercial departures from Boston Logan International Airport — including TSA screening and lengthy boarding processes. Instead, guests depart from a private terminal at Hanscom Field, where they can arrive just 30 minutes before takeoff, and board within steps of the aircraft. Onboard Tradewind’s Pilatus PC-12, operated by two pilots, guests enjoy a smooth, efficient flight — featuring air conditioning, a pressurized cabin, and complimentary snacks and refreshments. Tradewind is also pet friendly, so four-legged companions can travel comfortably by your side.
This summer, skip the airport crowds and travel with ease. Visit flytradewind.com today to reserve your seat.
