Teterboro airport

Location

The airport is located in New Jersey, 18 km (12 miles) north of Manhattan, with road connections into New York City via the George Washington Bridge and the Lincoln Tunnel.

The airport is located 18 km (12 miles) from Manhattan. Public transit stops and stations are situated approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) from the airfield perimeter and do not access the private FBO ramps; coordinating the final transfer via taxi or car service is recommended.

Taxis and Executive Transfers

Taxis and executive car services access the private terminal gates of each FBO directly for passenger drop-off and pick-up. Travel time to Midtown Manhattan typically takes 30 to 40 minutes, depending on traffic. Prior booking through the assigned FBO concierge is advised.

Rideshare Apps

App-based transportation providers such as Uber and Lyft can access the terminal vehicle entrances at Signature Aviation, Jet Aviation, and Atlantic Aviation for passenger boarding and drop-off.

More information on public transport

Parking Facilities

Each Fixed Base Operator (FBO) independently manages its own dedicated parking lots for private vehicles, situated adjacent to their respective hangars and private passenger terminals (Signature Aviation, Jet Aviation, and Atlantic Aviation).

Important Considerations

Short-term and long-term parking spaces are provided for traveling passengers and flight crews. Availability, guidelines, and parking fees should be confirmed directly with your handling FBO.

Because the airport does not handle scheduled commercial passenger traffic or standard security checkpoints, accessibility assistance is provided on an individual, private basis.

Requesting Special Assistance

Passengers with reduced mobility or specific assistance needs should notify their charter operator or handling FBO prior to departure. FBO ground staff provide direct assistance, including wheelchairs, luggage handling, and personalized boarding and deplaning support directly at the aircraft.

Accessibility and Medical Operations

FBO facilities feature level, step-free access to ramp areas. The airport also serves as a vital hub for critical medical evacuation, organ transplant flights, and humanitarian missions by the Corporate Angel Network (CAN) for cancer patients.

There are no hotels or sleep pods for public passenger lodging on airport grounds. Private FBO terminals offer dedicated snooze rooms exclusively for pilots and flight crews, while FBO concierges provide hotel booking assistance.
