Teterboro Airport KTEB / TEB
America's busiest business-aviation airport, 35 minutes from Midtown Manhattan through the Lincoln Tunnel, with five large FBOs and every major charter operator on the field. A 100,000 lb weight limit rules out airliner-based VIP jets, and the noise programme (Runway 24 limits, 23:00–06:00 voluntary restraint) is enforced with sanctions. Expect delays and parking pressure around Thanksgiving, holidays and US Open week.

What it costs to fly here privately
Teterboro: timing, noise and your New York destination
Specify the handling facility and your ground destination. The airport choice alone does not determine door-to-door time.
Do not confuse a voluntary restraint with a blanket curfew
The Port Authority describes a voluntary restraint on non-essential operations from 23:00 to 06:00, alongside mandatory runway-specific noise limits. Ask the operator to confirm the requirements applicable to the proposed movement.
Compare New Jersey and Westchester alternatives
Teterboro, Morristown and Westchester serve different ground destinations. Request a current transfer estimate for the actual address and a fallback if weather or operating constraints affect the preferred airport.
