About Cape Cod Gateway Airport
The Cape Cod Gateway Airport serves as a distinct commercial transportation hub for the residents of the Town of Barnstable and Cape Cod by meeting the regional demand for air transportation (both commercial and private transportation). For some, it provides very affordable and economic travel opportunities to/from Hyannis to/from other major destinations across the country, and yet for others, the airport provides a much-needed mode of travel to and from the Islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. This includes travel, tourism, and commuting opportunities for a large professional labor force. Cape Cod Gateway Airport connects residents to worldwide markets and destinations, sustaining Cape Cod’s rapidly expanding population and business community and welcomes visitors to Cape Cod, a world-renowned tourist destination. Cape Cod Gateway Airport is a vital link to the regional, national, and international markets that drive our emerging economy. As documented in the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) Aeronautics Division CY2019 (FY2020) Economic Impact Analysis, the Cape Cod Gateway Airport, in conjunction with its tenants and associated businesses, provide employment opportunities for 1,724 people, with an annual payroll in excess of $73.8 million and a regional economic output in excess of $157.2 million.
