Flying private to New York
New York is served by 3 airports used by private jets, led by Teterboro Airport (KTEB) — 35 minutes from the centre, customs on site.
Teterboro Airport KTEB
7,000 ft · 35 min · customs · 24h
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.
Morristown Municipal Airport KMMU
5,999 ft · 55 min · customs · 24h
A Teterboro reliever in the New Jersey corporate belt, 55 minutes from Midtown and 20 from the pharmaceutical headquarters around Morris County. Signature's terminal offers CBP clearance (user-fee); parking is far easier than Teterboro and the runway is slightly shorter. Popular as a quieter, cheaper base for the New York area.
Newark Liberty International Airport KEWR
11,000 ft · 30 min · customs · 24h
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.
