Key takeaways
- Teterboro (TEB) in Bergen County is the busiest private-aviation airport in the New York area and the closest to Midtown Manhattan.
- Westchester County Airport (HPN) is the natural choice for Westchester and Fairfield County, with private and commercial traffic.
- Morristown Municipal (MMU) serves corporate Morris County; Essex County Airport (CDW) in Fairfield handles smaller aircraft.
- Give us the tail number and FBO: we track the flight and meet you at the FBO — planeside where the FBO allows it.
The four airports at a glance
Each airport serves a different part of the region:
| Airport | Where | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Teterboro (TEB) | Teterboro, Bergen County, NJ | Manhattan, Bergen County, and most of North Jersey |
| Westchester County (HPN) | White Plains area, Westchester County, NY | Westchester, Fairfield County, and the Bronx |
| Morristown Municipal (MMU) | Morristown, Morris County, NJ | Morris, Somerset, and western Essex counties |
| Essex County (CDW) | Fairfield, Essex County, NJ | Smaller aircraft serving Essex and Passaic counties |
Teterboro: the Manhattan favorite
Teterboro is about 12 miles from Midtown, reached by the Lincoln Tunnel or the George Washington Bridge. It handles a large share of the region’s business jets, with several FBOs on the field. Traffic at the Lincoln Tunnel is the main variable on the way into Manhattan, and our chauffeurs choose the crossing on live conditions.
Westchester County Airport
HPN combines a small commercial terminal with a busy private-aviation side. For Westchester and Connecticut travelers it is the obvious choice; into Manhattan it is typically a 45- to 75-minute drive depending on the parkways.
Morristown and Essex County
Morristown Municipal is popular with corporate operators serving the Morris County and I-287 corridor headquarters, a short drive from Florham Park, Parsippany, and the Somerset Hills. Essex County Airport in Fairfield handles smaller piston and turboprop aircraft and is convenient for West Essex and Passaic County.
How we handle private-aviation pickups
Private flights change more often than airline schedules, so we work from live information:
- Book with the tail number, FBO, and estimated arrival — we track the flight and adjust automatically.
- Your chauffeur waits at the FBO, or planeside where the FBO and airport permit it.
- We coordinate passenger and crew transport separately when needed.
- Luxury SUVs and Sprinter vans handle groups and larger baggage loads.
