Private airstrip serving remote Tuckernuck Island off Nantucket.

Location
Tuckernuck Island, United States
Tuckernuck Airport (ICAO: MA72) is a small, privately owned airstrip located on Tuckernuck Island, a remote barrier island situated west of Nantucket in Massachusetts, United States. The facility serves as a critical link for the island's small seasonal population, as Tuckernuck has no regular ferry service and limited public infrastructure. The airport features a single grass runway and is used primarily by small general aviation aircraft. Access to the island is otherwise dependent on private boats, making the airstrip an important resource for residents and visitors during all seasons. Tuckernuck Island itself is largely undeveloped, with no paved roads or public utilities, and the airport reflects that character — a minimal, functional facility suited to the island's private and rural nature.
Getting to & from
There is no formal ground transport on Tuckernuck Island, as the island has no paved roads; travel is by foot, private vehicle on dirt paths, or boat.
