Teterboro Airport

Teterboro Airport (KTEB) sits just five miles west of Manhattan, on the New Jersey side of the Hudson, and is the single busiest dedicated business-aviation field in the United States. There is no scheduled airline service — every movement is private, charter, fractional, or corporate flight-department traffic, which is why brokers and owners think of it as the de facto NYC bizjet airport. Five major FBOs (Signature, Atlantic, Jet Aviation, Meridian, and Modern Aviation) compete for ramp space along the field, and during peak windows — Sunday evenings, Friday afternoons, ahead of major sporting events — slot pressure and ground delays are routine. The two runways (06/24 and 01/19) cap out at 7,000 feet, which is enough for everything up through a Gulfstream G650 or Global 7500, though heavy-jet operators often plan tankering carefully out of KTEB given the field's noise-abatement procedures and weight-restricted obstacle departures. The Teterboro 5 departure is a standard piece of NYC airspace knowledge, and a Part 135 curfew on noisier aircraft (Stage 3 restrictions, ~2300–0700 local) shapes scheduling more than at any other US bizjet field. For travelers, ground transport into Midtown is 20–45 minutes depending on Lincoln Tunnel traffic; helicopter shuttles from KTEB to the Manhattan heliports are the standard premium option.
