Private Jet Charter at Teterboro Airport
Teterboro Airport (TEB / KTEB) is a Port Authority–owned airport in Bergen County, New Jersey, about 12 miles from Midtown Manhattan. It carries no scheduled airline flights, so its traffic is almost entirely private and corporate aircraft. Two things shape charter plans here: a 100,000-pound maximum aircraft weight, and Port Authority noise rules that restrict noisier jets overnight.

Why travelers choose Teterboro
Teterboro sits on the New Jersey side of the George Washington Bridge and Lincoln Tunnel approaches, which makes it the usual choice for passengers heading to Midtown, the West Side or northern New Jersey.[1]
Because there is no airline traffic, passengers arrive and leave through private FBO lounges rather than a commercial terminal, and cars can usually meet the aircraft planeside, subject to FBO and security rules.[3]
Private aviation operations
The 100,000-pound weight limit rules out the heaviest business jets and airliner conversions; those flights normally use Newark (EWR) or JFK instead.[1]
The Port Authority applies noise rules at Teterboro, including restrictions on noisier aircraft late at night. Late-evening departures should be checked against the aircraft's noise certification when the trip is planned.[3]
Several FBOs share the field, and the operator normally picks one. If you have a preference for a particular terminal, mention it with your request.[2]
Final arrangements depend on the aircraft, the operator, any permissions or slots required, and conditions at the airport on the day. RIVIERA JET is a charter broker. Flights are operated by independent, properly certificated operators.
