Martha's Vineyard Airport, situated at the geographical center of the Island, was originally constructed by the Navy as a training field for pilots during World War II. The airport was transferred to Dukes County for the purpose of operating a civilian airport in 1959. Today it is one of the 10 busiest airports in New England. It welcomes more than 300,000 passengers a year at its modern terminal.
