A few things to keep in mind.
- Teterboro (TEB) has five FBO facilities: Atlantic Aviation, Jet Aviation and Signature Aviation East, West and South.
- Meridian Teterboro became part of Signature Aviation in January 2024.
- Each FBO controls its own vehicle access; planeside pickup is never automatic.
- Midtown Manhattan is about 12 miles away, commonly 30 to 75 minutes by car.
The fixed-base operators at Teterboro.
Teterboro is a general-aviation airport owned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. It has no scheduled airline service; private, charter and corporate aircraft use fixed-base operators (FBOs) for passenger lounges, fuel, hangars and ground handling.
In 2026 the FBOs at Teterboro are Atlantic Aviation, Jet Aviation and three Signature Aviation facilities: East, West and South. Signature acquired Meridian, Teterboro's last independent FBO, with effect from January 2024, so older guides that mention Meridian now refer to a Signature facility. Always give your chauffeur the exact FBO name; the facilities are on different sides of the airfield.
| FBO | Notes |
|---|---|
| Atlantic Aviation | Industrial Avenue side of the airport |
| Jet Aviation | South side of the airport |
| Signature Aviation East | One of three Signature facilities |
| Signature Aviation West | One of three Signature facilities |
| Signature Aviation South | One of three Signature facilities |
Where the car meets you.
Each FBO sets its own rules for chauffeured vehicles. Most ask the ground-transportation company to share the company, chauffeur and vehicle details before arrival. Planeside access, where the car drives onto the ramp to the aircraft, is decided by the FBO and must be requested in advance; many arrivals are met in the FBO lobby instead.
A good transfer request includes the FBO, the tail number or flight, the local arrival time, the passengers and bags, and a trip contact who will share any change of schedule.
International arrivals and customs.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection processes international general-aviation arrivals at Teterboro during set operating hours. Clearance happens before passengers are free to leave, so the pickup should be timed after it.
Confirm with your operator or FBO where clearance takes place and where passengers will be released, then share that with the ground-transportation company so the car waits in the right place.
Drive times from Teterboro.
Teterboro sits in Bergen County, New Jersey, between Teterboro, Moonachie and Hasbrouck Heights. Traffic on the crossings into Manhattan is the biggest variable in any onward journey.
