About four and a half hours non-stop from Teterboro or Westchester to Aspen-Pitkin County, ten minutes from town, when the aircraft and the weather allow. Indicative one way from $28,000 for the whole aircraft, in a midsize jet.

Teterboro to Aspen-Pitkin County is 1,502 nautical miles, 1,729 statute miles, flown west into the prevailing wind. A midsize jet such as the Citation Latitude flies it non-stop in about four and a half hours; super-midsize and heavy jets are a little quicker.
Aspen is two hours behind New York. Leave Teterboro at 9 am and you land at about 11.30 am local time, on the slopes or at the house by early afternoon. The time difference is why most flights leave New York in the morning: most operators fly into Aspen in daylight only, and on a winter afternoon the light goes early.
Aspen's airport is ten minutes from town and twenty from Snowmass, but it limits which aircraft can land. When the aircraft is too large or the weather closes Aspen, the flight lands at Eagle County, about an hour and forty-five minutes' drive away, or Rifle, about an hour and a quarter.
Which New York airport to leave from is set out in our guide to the private jet airports in New York: FBOs, customs and curfews, side by side.
Aspen-Pitkin County limits wingspan to 95 feet and weight to 100,000 lb. Its 8,000 ft runway sits at 7,800 ft in a box canyon, closed from 11 pm to 7 am, and most operators fly in by daylight only. A Citation Latitude, a Challenger 350, a Legacy 650 or a Global 6000 lands there; a Gulfstream G650 does not, and flies into Eagle County instead.
Altitude also matters on the way home. On a hot summer day the runway's height cuts what a jet can carry out of Aspen, so a full cabin back to New York may mean less fuel and a stop, or a departure from Eagle County. The operator works out the load for your date; we tell you before you book.
In December and January the sun sets in Aspen at about 4.45 pm Mountain time. With four and a half hours in the air and two hours of time difference, a departure from Teterboro by about 12.30 pm Eastern lands with a margin of daylight; later, the flight is planned into Eagle County, which has an instrument approach that keeps working after dark and in poor weather.
On the peak weeks, Christmas to New Year and Presidents' Day, Aspen's slots and parking are allocated in advance, so the arrival time is requested when we book. Aircraft often drop the party at Aspen and reposition to Rifle or Eagle for the stay, which also brings parking down.
Prices below are indicative one-way figures for the whole aircraft, not per seat. They cover the flight, crew and fuel; parking, de-icing, handling and any positioning are quoted separately once we know your dates.
A ski week with the aircraft parked at Rifle or Eagle, or flying back to New York empty and returning for you, can cost less than two one-way flights; we price both.
The hourly rate for each cabin, and what moves a quote up or down, are in our guide to private jet charter costs.

Prices are for Teterboro to Aspen-Pitkin County. Westchester, Eagle County and Rifle are quoted on the same basis; block times are westbound, and the flight east is usually shorter.
Teterboro handles most of New York's private departures, but it caps aircraft weight and closes to noisy movements overnight, so the largest cabins and some late flights go from Westchester, Newark or JFK.
Private jet airports in New York compared: FBOs, customs and curfews
The busiest private airport in the US. No aircraft may weigh more than 100,000 lb on the day, so VIP airliners go to JFK or Newark. Voluntary quiet hours 11 pm to 6 am; customs at Jet Aviation or Hangar 1, 7.30 am to 11.15 pm.
Quieter ramp and easier parking than Teterboro, with customs at the FBO. Operators are asked not to fly between midnight and 6.30 am.
Aspen-Pitkin County sits at 7,800 feet in a box canyon, ten minutes from town. It takes cabins up to a Global 6000 in daylight and good weather, so the larger jets and the late arrivals go to Eagle County, an hour and forty-five minutes away, or Rifle.
Flying private to Aspen from anywhere: airports, aircraft and prices
Wingspan is limited to 95 feet and weight to 100,000 lb, so a Global 6000 or Falcon 7X lands and a Gulfstream G650 does not. Curfew 11 pm to 7 am; most operators arrive in daylight only because of the mountain approach. Runway 8,000 feet at 7,800 feet elevation, so hot summer days cut the payload.
The main alternate for Aspen, with a longer runway, no wingspan limit, customs by prior arrangement and an instrument approach that keeps working when Aspen closes. The default airport for a Gulfstream G650 or a VIP airliner.
Lower and flatter than Aspen, with easier approaches and cheaper parking. Aircraft often drop the party at Aspen and reposition here for the stay.
Choose the New York airport by where you start; the Colorado airport is decided by the aircraft, the hour and the weather.
| If you start in | Airport | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Manhattan, Brooklyn and northern New Jersey | Teterboro (TEB) | Twenty-five to forty minutes from Midtown and the widest choice of aircraft in the country. |
| Upper East Side, Westchester and Connecticut | Westchester County (HPN) | On the right side of the city for Greenwich and the northern suburbs, with a quieter ramp than Teterboro. |
| If you are going to | Airport | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Aspen, Snowmass and the four mountains | Aspen-Pitkin County (ASE) | Ten minutes to town, for aircraft within its wingspan and weight limits, in daylight. |
| Larger cabins, late arrivals and Vail | Eagle County (EGE) | No wingspan limit and an approach that works after dark; about an hour and forty-five minutes to Aspen. |
| Weather diversions and parking for the stay | Rifle Garfield County (RIL) | Lower and flatter than Aspen, about an hour and a quarter by car, with cheaper parking. |
Drive times depend on the season and the roads, so we plan the car around your landing. The prices above are for Teterboro to Aspen-Pitkin County.
For four and a half hours the cabin matters, and so does the airport's 95 ft wingspan limit. A midsize Citation Latitude or a super-midsize Challenger 350 suits a family with skis; a heavy jet such as the Legacy 650 adds a rear cabin for a larger party. For the largest cabin that still lands at Aspen, the Global 6000 and Global 6500 fit within the limits; a G650 or a VIP airliner goes to Eagle County.
Eight or nine seats and a stand-up cabin, non-stop in about four and a half hours: the Citation Latitude, Challenger 350 or Praetor 600.
See the Citation LatitudeTen to fourteen seats with a separate rear cabin, inside Aspen's limits.
See the Legacy 650Thirteen to sixteen seats and the quietest cabin that still lands at Aspen.
See the Global 6500Aspen's ramp is small and its slots are rationed on the peak weeks, so parking is reserved with the flight and the aircraft may wait at Rifle or Eagle between legs.
The flight home leaves Aspen before its 11 pm curfew and is quicker with the westerlies behind it, about four hours, but the clock moves two hours forward: a noon departure lands at Teterboro at about 6 pm. On a snowy morning, or with a full cabin on a hot summer day, it may leave from Eagle County instead.
The last days of the Christmas holiday and the Monday of Presidents' Day weekend are the busiest departures from Aspen of the year, so we book the return with the outbound.
Flying into New York from somewhere else? The airports, aircraft and prices from each city are on our page for private jet charter to New York.
Each route has its own page: flight time, the airports at both ends, the aircraft that suit the leg and an indicative price.
Indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft start at about $28,000 in a midsize jet, $33,000 in a super-midsize jet, $44,000 in a heavy jet and $55,000 in an ultra-long-range jet, from Teterboro to Aspen-Pitkin County. Parking, de-icing, handling and any positioning are quoted separately.
About 4 and a half hours non-stop in a midsize jet, a little less in a heavy jet. Aspen is two hours behind New York, so a 9 am departure from Teterboro lands at about 11.30 am local time.
Yes. A midsize Citation Latitude and every larger cabin on this page fly Teterboro to Aspen non-stop. The return is the harder direction in summer, when heat and Aspen's altitude can limit the load.
No. Aspen-Pitkin County limits wingspan to 95 feet and weight to 100,000 lb, and most operators fly in by daylight only. A Legacy 650 or a Global 6000 fits; a Gulfstream G650 lands at Eagle County, about an hour and forty-five minutes' drive away.
