About an hour and a half from Teterboro to Wilmington International in North Carolina, ten minutes from the riverfront and fifteen from Wrightsville Beach. Leave New York after lunch and be on the sand by four.
Bank transfer or cryptoPriced in US dollars for this route.
Teterboro to Wilmington International is 501 miles, about an hour and a half in a light jet and a little less in anything larger. The airlines fly it with a connection or a long day on the road; by private jet it is a short afternoon flight with a car on the ramp at each end.
Wilmington International has two runways of about 8,000 ft, long enough for any business jet, and two private terminals: Modern Aviation, open around the clock, and Aero Center Wilmington. Downtown and the riverfront are ten minutes away, Wrightsville Beach about fifteen, Figure Eight Island a little further.
For Bald Head Island, Southport and Oak Island, Cape Fear Regional Jetport is the closer field, ten to fifteen minutes from the ferry. This page is for Wilmington, North Carolina; the FAQ covers Wilmington, Delaware.
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.
Bald Head Island has no airport and no cars, so the last leg is the passenger ferry from Deep Point Marina in Southport, about twenty minutes across the river mouth. Cape Fear Regional Jetport at Oak Island is ten to fifteen minutes from the marina, and its 5,505 ft runway takes light and midsize jets.
For a larger cabin, or when the weather favours the longer runway, we land at Wilmington International instead, forty-five minutes to an hour from the marina by car. Either way we time the car to the ferry and the island's tram or golf cart to the house.
The prices below are indicative one-way estimates for the whole aircraft, not per seat, from Teterboro to Wilmington International. They include the flight, the crew and the fuel for an aircraft that is already in New York.
They do not include positioning, landing and handling fees, taxes, overnight parking in Wilmington or the crew's hotel if the aircraft waits. Those depend on the date, the airports and the aircraft, so the written quote lists each one and gives a single total before you commit.
For a stay of a week at the beach, the aircraft usually flies home empty and comes back to collect you; we quote that against keeping it in Wilmington.
The hourly rate for each cabin, and what moves a quote up or down, are in our guide to private jet charter costs.

Into Cape Fear Regional Jetport for Bald Head Island, light and midsize jets only; the price is usually the same.
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.

Drive times depend on the hour and the traffic, so we plan the car around your landing rather than promise a figure. The prices above are for Teterboro to Wilmington International; other pairs are quoted on the same basis.
A light jet suits a couple or a family of four with a week's beach bags. A midsize cabin adds a lavatory with a door and room for golf clubs; a super-midsize or a heavy jet takes a larger family and the luggage for a summer, into Wilmington International.
Aircraft pages for this route: Cessna Citation XLS+, Bombardier Challenger 350.
Six or seven seats and about an hour and a half. The Learjet 55 in our fleet, or a Phenom 300 or Citation CJ4 from a New York operator, into either airport.
See the Phenom 300Seven to nine seats and a larger hold: the Citation XLS+ or Latitude into either airport, the Challenger 350 or Praetor 600 into Wilmington International.
See the Challenger 350Up to thirteen seats for a larger party. The Legacy 650 in our fleet flies it in about an hour and twenty minutes.
See the Legacy 650Wilmington is a summer coast with a spring festival, and the beach weekends between Memorial Day and Labor Day are the busiest of the year.
The return leaves Wilmington International or Cape Fear Regional Jetport and lands at Teterboro or Westchester in about an hour and a half. A Sunday evening departure from the beach has you in Manhattan by nine.
Teterboro's voluntary curfew runs from 11 pm to 6 am. The Sunday after Independence Day and Labor Day weekend are the busiest days of the summer northbound, so we book the return when we book the outbound.

About an hour and a half from Teterboro to Wilmington International in a light jet, a little less in a larger cabin.
Wilmington International, about fifteen minutes by car. Modern Aviation and Aero Center Wilmington run its private terminals, and any business jet lands on its runways.
There is no airport on the island. We land at Cape Fear Regional Jetport at Oak Island, ten to fifteen minutes from the Bald Head Island ferry at Southport, or at Wilmington International for a larger cabin, and time the car to the boat.
Yes. Wilmington Airport (ILG) in New Castle, four miles south of the city, is about 35 to 40 minutes from Teterboro, with Atlantic Aviation and flyADVANCED. For a trip that short the train from Penn Station takes about an hour and a half, so a jet makes sense when the time either side matters or the flight continues somewhere else. We quote it on request.
The season runs from June to November. Most weeks are unaffected, but a storm on the coast can close the airports for a day or two. We watch the forecast with you before departure and move the flight if we need to.
