Newark Liberty International Airport KEWR / EWR

The New York-area choice for aircraft too heavy for Teterboro and for widebody VIP charters, 30 minutes from Lower Manhattan. Slot-controlled with airline congestion and long taxi times; Signature runs the sole FBO with CBP on site. Not a first choice for routine business-jet trips.

  • Signature Flight Support Newark

An FBO is the private terminal: lounge, crew, fuel, customs desk. You drive up, walk 30 metres, and board.
