Located in New Jersey Meadowlands, just 12 short miles from Manhattan, Teterboro Airport is an outstanding choice for private charter flights into New York City and the surrounding New Jersey area. The convenience for getting into and out of New York City make this an attractive airport for passengers coming into the city.

Because Teterboro Airport is a general aviation airport it does not accommodate regular scheduled air traffic. Instead, it serves the needs of smaller aircraft in the region with strict weight limits prohibiting the use of the airport to craft that weighs more than 100,000 pounds.

Because of its proximity to Manhattan and major events that often take place in the city, Teterboro is accustomed to large scale events with dignitaries and executives from around the world.

In fact, Forbes reports that during the Super Bowl the FAA required pilots to schedule private charter jet landings (and non-charter flights alike) and departures at Teterboro from the Wednesday prior to the Super Bowl through the Tuesday afterwards in order to facilitate the huge number of charter flights coming into the region for the big game.
