New York City features six (6) major airports that travelers will typically utilize, depending where in the city or metro area they are headed.
For the majority of Manhattan, the most common airport used is Teterboro (TEB), which is about 20-30min away from Manhattan’s west side across the Hudson River in New Jersey. With many private FBO services and hundreds of aircraft landing and departing each week, Teterboro is easily the most heavily trafficked airport servicing private charter flights to/from New York.
Another choice for some flyers is Westchester Airport (HPN) located just north of Manhattan in White Plains, NY. For residents of Westchester County or Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Westchester Airport is often the clear choice.
Residents of Long Island returning home to NYC can avoid major airports like JFK International (JFK) and Laguardia (LGA) by chartering an aircraft directly to Republic Airport (FRG) or Islip (ISP).
