quickFacts:
  - General aviation only — no scheduled commercial passenger flights
  - Primary private/corporate jet gateway to New York City
  - Operated by Port Authority of NY & NJ (PANYNJ)
  - ~12 miles / 25–60+ min to Midtown Manhattan depending on traffic
  - Multiple competing FBOs handle all passenger processing
  - Strict noise and operating restrictions; no scheduled airline terminals
bentoTips:
  - label: Timing
    title: 'Pad hard for Manhattan traffic, not security'
    detail: >-
      AM inbound and 3–7 PM outbound are brutal; helicopter or seaplane
      transfers beat sitting in NJ traffic when schedules are tight.
    summary: >-
      Your bottleneck is the Lincoln Tunnel or GWB, not screening — leave 90+
      minutes door-to-FBO in rush hour.
    category: timing
  - label: FBOs
    title: 'You go to an FBO, not a terminal'
    detail: >-
      Signature, Atlantic, Jet Aviation, Meridian, and others are separate
      compounds; showing up at the wrong gate wastes 15–25 minutes.
    summary: >-
      TEB has no central passenger terminal — confirm which FBO your operator
      booked and give that address to your driver.
    category: terminal
  - label: Food
    title: Eat before you arrive or use the FBO
    detail: >-
      Most FBOs stock light snacks and can arrange catering if your flight
      department orders ahead; do not count on walk-up restaurants airside.
    summary: >-
      There is no public food court — plan on FBO catering, nearby diners, or
      eating in the city.
    category: food
  - label: Live checks
    title: 'Confirm FBO + ramp slot, not a flight board'
    detail: >-
      US Customs at TEB is appointment/handler-coordinated for international GA;
      never assume walk-in processing.
    summary: >-
      Track your tail number with the operator and call the FBO desk for ETA,
      customs, and car timing — there is no public departures screen.
