Terminal and Facilities
In 2009, the terminal was updated with an upgrade of the previous 12,000 square feet (1,100 m2) and an expansion of 18,000 square feet (1,700 m2) at a cost of approximately $29 million. A major goal of the expansion was to increase the capacity of the terminal substantially over the original 1950s facility. Another goal was to segregate air-taxi passengers, who do not require security screening, from airline passengers, who do.
The airport apron for commercial aircraft has eight parking spots for Cape Air's Cessna 402. There are also four larger parking spots for the Jetblue E190, US Airways CRJ-200 and Saab 340, Delta CRJ-200 and Continental Dash 8 Q-200. More spots are available if needed. Most of the parking is reserved for general aviation aircraft. Across from the terminal, there is a cargo facility where some of Nantucket's imports are handled.
