## Description

RKD is Rockland's gateway on Penobscot Bay, but what flies here are island commuters and summer visitors, not freight pallets. Knox County Regional Airport in Maine is served year-round by Cape Air's daily flights to Boston (BOS), while Penobscot Island Air links the bay's outer islands. The region's celebrated lobster leaves by road and sea, not in a jet's hold — there is no scheduled cargo service. Heavier or bonded air freight is handled by the larger inland Bangor (BGR), about 90 km north.
