New York is one of the busiest private aviation cities in the world: in 2025 there were 263,061 private flights to and from New York, connecting it with 1,794 cities. The most popular routes are Washington, Miami, Palm Beach, Chicago and Boston, followed by Toronto, Fort Lauderdale, Los Angeles and Boca Raton.
A private jet to New York suits both business and leisure travel: a day of meetings in Midtown or the Financial District, a weekend on Long Island or a family trip to the city. The private jet experience starts on the ground — no airline queues, a short walk to the aircraft and your driver waiting on arrival.

New York–London is one of the busiest transatlantic private routes. A non-stop flight takes about 7 h 30 in a Falcon 7X or Global 6000, and in London we usually land at London Farnborough, London Luton Airport, London Biggin Hill or London Stansted, depending on where you are going. A Legacy 650 between New York and London starts at $62,100 one way.

Most private jets to New York City use Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, 19 km (12 miles) by road from Midtown Manhattan. It handles only business and private aviation, so there are no airline queues or crowds. Information on your private terminal and its services comes with the flight briefing.
Private terminals. Several FBOs (fixed-base operators — private terminals with their own lounges and handling services) operate here, including Signature Aviation, Atlantic Aviation and Jet Aviation. The drive to Midtown takes 30–45 minutes, and a helicopter to a Manhattan heliport can be arranged.
Customs. International flights clear US customs on arrival, so flights from London, Paris or Geneva land at the airport directly.
Larger aircraft. All business jets use the airport. VIP airliners such as a Boeing Business Jet need prior approval, so they usually fly into JFK or Newark instead.
Night flights. The airport is open 24 hours a day, but operators are asked to avoid flights between 23:00 and 06:00. For a departure in those hours we plan the flight from Newark or JFK.
Flights from London. Farnborough, Luton and Biggin Hill all serve the route, and the flight takes about 8 hours westbound.

Teterboro handles most private flights, but other New York airports can be a better choice for Westchester and Connecticut, for Long Island or for VIP airliners. LaGuardia and JFK are commercial airports with limited space for private aircraft.

Business and Leisure in New York City
New York City is a gateway for both business and leisure travel, and demand for private flights follows its calendar.
Business. Most business trips go to Midtown Manhattan and the Financial District around Wall Street. A private jet lets you fly in for a day of meetings and return the same evening, saving the time a commercial flight from JFK or LaGuardia would take.
Top places to visit. Central Park, Times Square, the Broadway theatres, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty and museums such as MoMA and the Metropolitan Museum of Art are all within an hour of the airport by road.
Long Island and the Hamptons. In summer many New Yorkers spend weekends in the Hamptons on Long Island, in Nantucket and on Martha's Vineyard; we arrange a short flight or a helicopter from Manhattan.
US Open. The Grand Slam tennis tournament takes place at Flushing Meadows in Queens at the end of the summer.
Winter. From late November to spring, flights head south to Miami, Palm Beach and the Bahamas, and west to Aspen for the ski season. Around Christmas and New Year, book 3–4 weeks ahead.
