Cape Cod Gateway Airport (IATA: HYA, ICAO: KHYA, FAA LID: HYA), also known as Boardman/Polando Field and formerly known as Barnstable Municipal Airport, is a public airport located on Cape Cod, one mile (1.6 km) north of the central business district of Hyannis, in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States. This airport is publicly owned by Town of Barnstable.[1] It is Cape Cod's major airport as well as an air hub for the Cape and the Islands (Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket). The airport is served by scheduled commercial flights as well as charters and general aviation. Barnstable Municipal Airport served as a hub for Nantucket-based commuter airline Island Airlines until its shutdown in 2015.[3]

The airport was founded in 1928. During World War II it was also known as Naval Auxiliary Air Facility Hyannis, and both the Navy and Army Air Forces flew antisubmarine patrols from the airport.

It was renamed Barnstable Municipal Airport–Boardman/Polando Field in honor of Massachusetts aviation pioneers Russell Boardman and John Polando in 1981, the first aviators in history to fly non-stop for a 5,000-mile (8,000 km) distance.[4][5]

As of January 1, 2021, the airport has rebranded itself as the Cape Cod Gateway Airport to provide better name recognition to users from off-Cape not familiar with the name Barnstable.[6]

Facilities[edit]

Airport overview[edit]

Barnstable Municipal Airport covers an area of 639 acres (2.59 km2). The airport has two asphalt grooved runways: 6/24 is 5,425 x 150 ft (1,654 x 46 m) and 15/33 is 5,253 x 150 ft (1,601 x 46 m).[1]

Currently there are Cessna 402 commuter aircraft operated by Cape Air as well as Beechcraft King Air 300s operated by Rectrix Aviation and Cessna 208s operated by Wiggins Airways in addition to Embraer E190 jets seasonally operated by JetBlue Airways handled as commercial aircraft.

Other commercial aircraft that have served KHYA in the past include Boeing 727, Boeing 737 and McDonnell Douglas DC-9 jets as well as ATR 42, Beechcraft 99, Beechcraft 1900C, Beechcraft 1900D, Convair 580, de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter, de Havilland Canada DHC-8 Dash 8, Dornier 228, Embraer EMB-110 Bandeirante, Fairchild Hiller FH-227, NAMC YS-11, Saab 340 and Short 360 turboprops, and Britten-Norman Islander, Cessna, Douglas DC-3 and Piper Aircraft piston powered airplanes.[7]

The airport had scheduled passenger jet service as early as 1969 when Northeast Airlines was operating McDonnell Douglas DC-9-30 flights as well as operating service with Fairchild Hiller FH-227 turboprop aircraft with nonstop flights to New York Kennedy Airport (JFK), Boston (BOS) and Nantucket (ACK) plus direct, no change of plane flights to New York LaGuardia Airport.[8] Northeast Airlines was then acquired by and merged into Delta Air Lines which then subsequently ceased all service to the airport during the 1970s.[9][10][11]

According to the Official Airline Guide (OAG), regional and small commuter airlines serving the airport with scheduled passenger flights from the mid 1970s to the mid 1990s included Air New England, Cape Air, Colgan Air (later Pinnacle Airlines and still later Endeavor Air), Continental Express (operated by Bar Harbor Airlines on behalf of Continental Airlines), the Delta Connection (operated by Business Express on behalf of Delta Air Lines), Eastern Express (operated by Bar Harbor Airlines on behalf of Eastern Airlines), Edgartown Air, Express Air, Gull Air, Hyannis Aviation, Island Air, Nantucket Airlines, New York Air Commuter Airlines, Northwest Airlink (operated by Precision Airlines on behalf of Northwest Airlines), Provincetown-Boston Airlines (PBA), USAir Express and Will's Air with all of these air carriers operating either turboprop or small piston powered aircraft.[12]

In the summer months, the airport traffic increases significantly, commercially and privately, being the main airport for Cape Cod. The fixed-base operators at the airport are Rectrix Aviation, Air Cape Cod, and Griffin Avionics.
