PRIVATE AVIATION

Ground Transfers for Private Aviation

Private flying is about time. We arrange the ground side to match — a chauffeur and vehicle at the FBO when your aircraft arrives, and a car at your door when wheels-up moves earlier.

  • 01

    TEB, HPN and FRG

    Teterboro, Westchester County and Republic Airport in Farmingdale, plus private terminals at the major commercial airports.

  • 02

    Tracked by tail number

    Share your tail number and ETA and we monitor changes so the pickup moves with the flight.

  • 03

    Heliport connections

    Transfers to and from Manhattan’s heliports for onward flights to the airports or the Hamptons.

Where we meet you

Airports and terminals we serve

Most private flights into the New York area use one of three general aviation airports. Each has several fixed-base operators (FBOs), and knowing which one your aircraft is using is the single most useful detail you can give us. FBO names below are listed only to help identify pickup locations — we have no affiliation with any operator.

Common private aviation airports for New York
AirportLocationFBOs served includeTypical drive to Midtown
Teterboro (TEB)Bergen County, New JerseySignature, Jet Aviation, Atlantic AviationOften 30–60 minutes; longer at peak via the Lincoln Tunnel or George Washington Bridge
Westchester County (HPN)White Plains, New YorkSignature, Million AirOften 45–75 minutes, considerably longer at rush hour
Republic (FRG)Farmingdale, Long IslandAtlantic Aviation, Modern AviationOften 60–90 minutes; a convenient option for the Hamptons

We also handle transfers to private and general aviation facilities at the commercial airports, and to Westchester’s passenger terminal for scheduled flights. If your operator names a different FBO, simply tell us — the plan adjusts accordingly.

Tail numbers & ETAs

Coordinating around a moving schedule

Private flights change in ways commercial schedules don’t. A departure from Palm Beach moves up by forty minutes; weather in Aspen holds the aircraft; a passenger decides to stop in Boston on the way. We plan for this from the start.

  • Tail number and FBO let us follow the aircraft and stage the vehicle at the right building.
  • A contact on board or on the ground — often an assistant, flight department or charter coordinator — means changes reach us quickly.
  • Departures are planned backward from wheels-up, with time for traffic toward the Hudson crossings or the Long Island Expressway.
  • Luggage and equipment — skis, golf bags, cases of wine — are noted in advance so the right vehicle class is assigned.

By helicopter

Manhattan heliport transfers

Helicopter transfers can cut a long road journey to minutes, but they still need a car at each end. Manhattan has three public-use heliports, each with its own approach:

  • Downtown Manhattan Heliport at Pier 6 on the East River, near the Financial District and South Street.
  • East 34th Street Heliport on the East River at the foot of East 34th Street in Midtown.
  • West 30th Street Heliport on the Hudson River beside Hudson River Park, close to Hudson Yards.

Pickups at the heliports often involve tight curbside space and timing that matters to the minute. Share your helicopter operator and scheduled time, and we will plan the approach and a realistic buffer. Pairing a heliport transfer with an onward journey — to a hotel, an office or a Hamptons house from the other end — can be quoted as one itinerary.

FAQ

Questions, Answered

Can your chauffeur meet the aircraft on the ramp?

Only where the FBO permits it. Ramp access rules vary by facility and are confirmed in your quote; otherwise your chauffeur meets you at the FBO lounge or entrance.

What if our flight arrives early or late?

With your tail number and FBO, we monitor the flight and adjust the pickup. Any waiting-time terms are set out in your quote.

Do you book private jets or helicopters?

No. We provide chauffeured ground transportation only; flights are arranged by you or your aviation operator.

How long is the drive from Teterboro to Manhattan?

Often 30–60 minutes to Midtown, and considerably longer at peak times or when Hudson River crossings are congested.

Are you affiliated with any FBO?

No. We serve FBOs as pickup and drop-off locations and have no partnership with any aviation operator.
