Weight limit
Why Teterboro limits aircraft weight
The airport's operator sets a maximum aircraft weight at Teterboro. It keeps large airliners out and shapes how the very largest long-range jets use the field. On most trips you will never notice it.
- Light to large-cabin jets fly in and out every day.
- The heaviest long-range jets may need to plan fuel load, a stop, or a different field for very long flights.
- We check it for you whenever a trip uses one of the biggest aircraft.
Getting there
From Midtown to the FBO
Teterboro is in Bergen County, New Jersey, across the Hudson from Manhattan. By car it is about 12 miles from Midtown, usually through the Lincoln Tunnel or over the George Washington Bridge.
- Allow for traffic. Crossing the Hudson at rush hour can take far longer than the distance suggests.
- Arrive shortly before departure. There are no airline-style security lines at a private terminal.
- Prefer to skip the drive? A helicopter transfer from a Manhattan heliport can be arranged on request.
