Landing essentials
Whether you can land, whether you can refuel, and how customs works here.
Overview
Teterboro Airport sits roughly nine and a half nautical miles from midtown Manhattan, making it one of the busiest business aviation gateways to the New York metro area. The field is towered and offers two paved runways, the longer at 6,997 feet, along with onsite CBP inspection services and a USDA compliance agreement for international arrivals. With annual operations concentrated almost entirely in business aviation, KTEB ranks among the top-tier fields in Skystar's coverage for both traffic volume and operational documentation.

Operating constraints
Teterboro Airport has published operating constraints in eight categories: access, weight restrictions, runway notes, emergency arresting systems, noise procedures, environmental, construction and pavement strength.
Closed to motorless aircraft; uncontrolled aircraft and ultralight activity are not permitted except by prior permission.
The RNAV (GPS) X approach to Runway 06 is the primary RNAV approach to that runway.
Aircraft capable of operating above 100,000 pounds must submit certification to the airport manager verifying that operating weight is less than 100,000 pounds. Contact Airport Operations for the required forms.
On Runway 01, a 67-foot tree penetrates the obstacle clearance surface at a distance of 1200 feet, 400 feet right of centerline, on a 16:1 slope based on the displaced threshold.
Runway 19 has an approach ratio of 25:1 to the displaced threshold.
A non-standard arresting gear system, an Engineered Materials Arresting System (EMAS) measuring 250 feet in length by 170 feet in width, is located at the departure end of Runway 06.
An Engineered Materials Arresting System (EMAS) measuring 355 feet in length by 162 feet in width is located at the departure end of Runway 19.
An Engineered Materials Arresting System (EMAS) measuring 348 feet in length by 162 feet in width is located at the departure end of Runway 24.
Aircraft and helicopter noise abatement rules are in effect. Contact the Airport Noise Abatement Office for a copy of procedures and rules prior to arrival. Runway 24 is the noise-critical runway, with a maximum noise limit of 80 decibels between 2200 and 0700 and 90 decibels during all other hours.
Stage 1 aircraft are not permitted to operate at Teterboro Airport.
All aircraft should avoid the hospital located 1.7 miles north of Runway 01/19.
Deer and bird activity occurs on and in the vicinity of the airport.
Helicopter operations over residential areas below 1000 feet MSL should be avoided.
Daily construction activity occurs in all quadrants.

Frequently asked questions
What is the weight limit at KTEB?
Teterboro Airport does not impose a hard weight cap, but it does require paperwork above a threshold. Aircraft capable of operating above 100,000 pounds must submit certification to the airport manager verifying that actual operating weight stays below that figure. The forms come from Airport Operations directly. This applies to capability rather than actual weight, so operators of larger-category jets flying below the threshold still need to file the certification. Dispatchers should plan for this step before scheduling any operation near that weight class into KTEB.
Does KTEB have runway overrun protection?
Yes, Teterboro Airport has Engineered Materials Arresting Systems installed at three runway ends. The departure end of Runway 06 has a system measuring 250 feet in length by 170 feet in width. Runway 19's departure end has one measuring 355 feet by 162 feet, and Runway 24's departure end has one measuring 348 feet by 162 feet. These systems are non-standard arresting gear designed to stop an aircraft that overruns the pavement. No EMAS is listed for the Runway 01 end.
What are the noise rules at Teterboro Airport?
Teterboro Airport enforces noise abatement rules for both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, and Stage 1 aircraft are not permitted to operate there at all. Runway 24 is designated the noise-critical runway, with a maximum limit of 80 decibels between 2200 and 0700 and 90 decibels during all other hours. Operators should contact the Airport Noise Abatement Office for a copy of the full procedures before arrival. Helicopter operations over residential areas below 1000 feet MSL should also be avoided under these rules.
When is peak traffic season at KTEB?
Business aviation traffic at Teterboro Airport concentrates in September, October, and November, based on FAA TFMSC data for 2025. September alone recorded 15,291 business aviation operations, the highest monthly total of the year, followed by October at 14,522 and November at 13,776. Winter months run noticeably lower, with January at 10,368 and February at 10,564. Dispatchers planning slot requests or ground handling around the fall peak should expect the heaviest volume of the year during that three-month window.
Are customs services available at Teterboro Airport?
Yes, CBP inspection services are available onsite at Teterboro Airport, along with a USDA compliance agreement. This places KTEB among the business aviation airports in the New York area with full onsite customs processing rather than a requirement to divert to a nearby port of entry. Operators should still confirm specific inspection procedures and any advance notice requirements directly with the onsite office, since availability of services does not remove standard advance filing obligations for international arrivals. The airport's proximity to Manhattan makes this onsite capability significant for business jet traffic into the metro area.
