Flying Private to New York
Most private flights in and out of New York use Teterboro, 12 miles from Midtown. Westchester suits Greenwich, Westchester and the Upper East Side, and it often has less traffic. We pick the airport by where you are starting from and the time of day, not just the shortest flight.
New York also has the most charter aircraft of any market in the country, so you can usually get a same-day departure, even on short notice.
