Fly Private to the City
Private Jet Charter to New York.
Teterboro is twelve miles from Midtown. The rest of the airport experience you already know does not apply here.
Plan Your CharterWhy Fly Private to New York.
New York does not run on one schedule. It runs on the UN General Assembly calendar, the Wall Street close, and whatever just opened on Broadway. Private aviation demand around the city moves with all three, and Teterboro feels it first.
A private jet charter to New York removes the part of the trip you cannot control. No gate to find, no bag carousel, no boarding group. You land at a private terminal, a car is already waiting, and the meeting on Park Avenue or the dinner reservation downtown is still on schedule.
The city itself rewards that kind of arrival. Fewer hours lost to the airport means more of them spent where they matter, whether that is a boardroom in Midtown or a table at a restaurant that does not take walk-ins.
Which Airport Is Right for You.
Four general aviation airports cover the metro area. The map on each one is centered exactly on that airport.
Teterboro
The default for Manhattan. ~12 miles, 20 to 30 minutes to Midtown, and the highest volume of private FBOs in the region.
Westchester County
Best for the Upper East Side, Westchester, and southern Connecticut. ~29 miles, ~45 minutes, and quieter when Teterboro is tight.
Republic
The standard choice for the Hamptons and eastern Long Island. ~40 miles, 50 to 60 minutes from Midtown.
Long Island MacArthur
Central and eastern Long Island. ~54 miles, 60 to 75 minutes, and noticeably quieter outside peak season.
Your advisor confirms the airport and books the FBO. JFK and LaGuardia are commercial hubs and are not part of private charter routing.
Where the Trip Actually Happens.
A flight into New York is rarely the point of the trip. These are the parts of the city that usually are.
Midtown and the Financial District
Most itineraries start here. Boardrooms by day, a table with a river view by night, all inside a twenty minute radius of Teterboro.
Fifth Avenue
Still the reference point for a New York afternoon, and close enough to Midtown hotels that the car ride barely counts.
Tribeca and the West Village
Where a lot of trips end up once the meetings are done. Quieter streets, a slower pace, dinner reservations that take real planning.
Hudson Yards
The newest major addition to the skyline, now a fixture for both business meetings and dinner afterward.
The Upper East Side
Museums, townhouses, and the calmest residential corner of Manhattan, within easy reach of Westchester Airport.
The Hamptons and Nantucket
A short hop from Republic or Westchester, and the natural way a New York trip turns into a long weekend.
Your Ground Transfer Is Already Covered.
A private car is arranged before you land, so the trip from the runway to your final destination never depends on finding a taxi at an FBO curb.
Waiting at the FBO
The car is confirmed and staged before your wheels touch down, so there is no wait once you clear the ramp.
Straight to Manhattan or Beyond
Whether the destination is a Midtown office or a weekend house in the Hamptons, the vehicle is matched to the group and the route.
Covered on the Way Back
The same coordination applies to the return leg, timed against your actual schedule, not a fixed pickup window.
When New York Gets Tight.
A handful of weeks a year, Teterboro fills up fast. Knowing when they land changes how far ahead you should book.
UN General Assembly Week
Restricted airspace and heads of state move through the region. Slot availability at Teterboro tightens noticeably, and booking five to seven days out is the safer move.
Fashion Week and the US Open
The two overlap most years and pull aircraft in from across the East Coast, so Teterboro slots go faster than usual.
Wall Street Year End
Combined with holiday travel out of the city, this is the single busiest private aviation stretch of the year in New York.
Hamptons Weekend Traffic
Republic and Westchester run heavy from Memorial Day through Labor Day as the weekend exodus east begins.
Aircraft Clients Choose for New York.
Light jets like the Citation CJ3 cover the regional business hops, New York to Miami or the Caribbean corridor, with 7 to 8 passengers.
Super midsize jets like the Challenger 350 pick up the larger groups and coast to coast range. Heavy jets like the Legacy 600 handle intercontinental departures for teams that need real cabin space.

Which airport should I use for a private charter to New York?
Teterboro for most Manhattan trips, it is closest and best equipped for private aviation. Republic or MacArthur make more sense for the Hamptons or eastern Long Island. Your advisor confirms the fit based on where you are actually headed.
How far ahead should I book during UN Assembly week?
Five to seven days out during UN week, Fashion Week, or the year end stretch. Outside those windows, most trips can be arranged with much shorter notice.
Is ground transportation included in a private jet charter to New York?
Yes. Ground transport from the FBO to your final destination, and back again, is arranged before you land as part of your charter.
Which aircraft is most requested for New York routes?
Light jets like the Citation CJ3 for regional trips, and super midsize jets like the Challenger 350 for larger groups traveling farther, are the two most requested categories.
Can I bring my pet on a private charter to New York?
Yes. Pets travel in the cabin with you on all Fly Tango Jets flights, not in cargo.
Do you arrange international arrivals into New York?
Yes. Customs clearance and airspace permitting are coordinated ahead of the flight, so nothing is a surprise at the ramp.
