Runway, services and slots
Each airport has its own operators, hours and restrictions. Teterboro has a wide choice of operators and is the most active; Westchester offers a smaller environment with its own terminals; Republic has a general aviation focus. Your flight team will know which fits your aircraft, and your ground team should coordinate with them.

From Teterboro, the bridges and tunnels shape the drive into Manhattan. From Westchester, the parkways and I-95 shape trips to Connecticut and the city. From Republic, the Long Island Expressway and Northern State Parkway shape trips across Long Island. Your chauffeur monitors live traffic and adjusts the route.
