Teterboro, New Jersey · TEB
New York'sPrivate Runway.
No commercial airlines, no TSA lines, no terminal crowds — just private and business aviation, 12 miles from Midtown Manhattan. This is where New York actually flies private.
Teterboro Airport · TEB
The Busiest Business Aviation Airport in the U.S.
Teterboro has no scheduled commercial service — it exists exclusively for private and business aviation, which means faster ramp turnarounds, no shared runways with airliners, and multiple full-service FBOs to choose from.
At roughly 12 miles from Midtown, it's the closest jet-capable airport to Manhattan — closer than JFK, LaGuardia, or Newark for most private aviation purposes.
Whether it's a same-day round trip or the start of a longer itinerary, we book the FBO, arrange ground transport, and coordinate customs for international arrivals.
