Boston-Logan International Airport is by far the most important airport in Massachusetts, and indeed in all New England. Massachusetts' other airport, Worcester Regional Airport, has limited service.

T F Green Airport, just south of Providence RI, can be used to reach Massachusetts, as MBTA Commuter Rail trains and intercity buses run between the airport and Massachusetts cities and towns. The trip by train between the airport and Boston takes just over an hour.

Likewise, Manchester-Boston Regional Airport near Manchester NH can be used to reach Boston and eastern Massachusetts.

For central and western Massachusetts, the nearest large airport is Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks CT, north of Hartford CT and south of Springfield MA.

Several smaller fields serve general aviation and limited commuter flights.
