Frequently asked questions
What are the runways at KMVY?
Martha's Vineyard Airport, KMVY, operates two paved asphalt runways. Runway 06/24 is the primary strip at 5,504 feet long and 100 feet wide. Runway 15/33 measures 3,327 feet long and 75 feet wide. Runway 15/33 carries a restriction: it is not available for scheduled Part 121 or Part 380 passenger operations with more than 9 seats, nor for non-scheduled passenger operations with more than 30 seats. Dispatchers planning larger passenger aircraft should default to runway 06/24.
Does KMVY have customs clearance onsite?
Martha's Vineyard Airport does not have onsite customs clearance. The nearest customs facility is at KHYA, located 22.34 nautical miles away. Flights requiring federal inspection on arrival need to route through that facility or another designated port of entry before or instead of landing at MVY. Crews should confirm current customs procedures and any required advance notice with the servicing facility directly, since none of that processing happens at Martha's Vineyard itself.
How busy is Martha's Vineyard Airport throughout the year?
Martha's Vineyard Airport recorded 23,376 total annual operations in 2025 according to FAA TFMSC data, with 18,682 of those classified as business aviation activity. Traffic at KMVY is heavily seasonal, concentrated in the summer months. July and August each saw close to 4,000 business aviation operations, compared to roughly 300 to 500 per month in the winter. Dispatchers should expect materially higher ramp and airspace congestion during the peak summer season than in the off-season months.
Are there noise or curfew restrictions at KMVY?
Martha's Vineyard Airport has established noise abatement procedures, and pilots are directed to contact airport operations and avoid residential areas southwest of the field. A voluntary curfew applies to arrivals and departures between 2200 and 0600. Helicopters are prohibited from hover taxiing, landing, and takeoff from the T-hangar area. These restrictions reflect the airport's proximity to residential neighborhoods and should be factored into trip planning, particularly for late-night or early-morning movements.
What lighting is available at KMVY when the tower is closed?
When the air traffic control tower at Martha's Vineyard Airport is closed, pilots can activate airfield lighting via CTAF. This includes MALSR on runway 24, REIL on runway 33, HIRL on runway 06/24, and MIRL on runway 15/33. Since KMVY is a towered field during staffed hours, this pilot-controlled lighting only applies outside the tower's operating hours. Crews arriving or departing after tower closure should plan to use the appropriate CTAF frequency to bring up the lights they need.
