Martha's Vineyard Airport
Martha's Vineyard Airport (IATA: MVY) is a public airport located in the middle of the island of Martha's Vineyard, three miles (5 km) south of the central business district of Vineyard Haven, in Dukes County, Massachusetts, United States. This airport is owned by Dukes County and lies on the border between the towns of West Tisbury and Edgartown. It is often used for general aviation but is also served by two commercial airlines.
The airfield was constructed during World War II as a coastal patrol base. The new terminal building, constructed in 2001, replaced an older wooden structure that was the original base operations building. Historical photos and memorabilia are mounted on the western wall of the main hall, near the entrance to the restaurant, and tell the story of the Navy squadrons posted there during the war.
Marthas Vineyard Airport covers an area of 688 acres (278 ha) which contains two runways.
