The Teterboro Airport ( IATA code : TEB , ICAO code : KTEB ) is an airport in Teterboro , New Jersey , USA . It is approximately 10 miles (10 miles) from the center of New York City , and its location and capacity make it ideal for private and business jet flights. These account for 56% of the air traffic in Teterboro.

The airport, like John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport in New York City and Newark Airport in New Jersey, is operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and was the first airport in the New York metropolitan area from 1919.

In 1917, the site was purchased by Walter Teter, leased to North American Aviation for aircraft construction, and two years later converted into an airport for military, experimental, and transportation purposes. It takes up almost the entire area of the municipality . In 1928, the first major airport in the New York City area was opened in Newark. During the Second World War, the United States Army Air Force s and Navy used the site and in 1949 gave it to the Port Authority, which leased it to Pan American World Airways , among others . Since December 2000, the airport has been managed exclusively by the Port Authority.

Teterboro has had a weight limit of 100,000 pounds (45.3 t ) for planes attempting to use the airport since the 1970s . At the beginning of the 2000s, Boeing tried to set an exception for the newly built and significantly heavier Boeing Business Jets (BBJ, sub-version of the Boeing 737 ). The US Congress rejected this exception out of consideration for local residents. The Port Authority, which had issued the restriction, also justified this decision with the fact that they did not want to set a precedent that would have led to even larger and heavier aircraft and thus increasing noise and exhaust emissions.

Approach procedure

The airport's infrastructure is also designed for landings in instrument flight weather conditions; both runways have the required lighting systems for this. For lanes 06 and 19 there is an instrument landing system and a GPS approach procedure, and for lanes 06 and 24 there is an additional VOR approach procedure.
