RDU to Teterboro: the Research Triangle to Midtown before ten

Raleigh to New York is 430 miles, about an hour and twenty minutes in a light jet. There is no airline connection to manage and no time change, so the day is simple: leave Raleigh-Durham at 7.30 am, land at Teterboro just before 9, and be in Midtown by half past nine.

Most flights leave from Raleigh-Durham International, ten minutes from Research Triangle Park and twenty from downtown Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill. Raleigh Executive Jetport at Sanford suits the south of the county, and Moore County Airport is minutes from Pinehurst, which makes this route as much about golf in spring and autumn as about business.

At the New York end, Teterboro is the closest arrival to Manhattan. Westchester is better for Greenwich, Rye and the Upper East Side, and Newark or JFK take the larger cabins.

What the flight costs

Prices below are indicative one-way figures for the whole aircraft, not per seat. They include the flight, crew and fuel; parking at Teterboro, repositioning and handling are quoted separately once we know your dates.

Operators base light and midsize jets at Raleigh-Durham, so many departures need little repositioning. A same-day return with the aircraft waiting in New York is usually priced well below two one-way flights.

Aircraft for an hour and twenty minutes

This is a short flight, and a light jet is the right size for most parties. A midsize cabin suits a team of six to eight. Heavy jets are rarely worth it on a flight this short unless the group is large or the aircraft goes on from New York to Europe.

When New York fills up

New York's private airports run near capacity all year. On these dates a temporary flight restriction or a slot programme can change the airport you use, so we plan them early.

  1. September United Nations General Assembly The week of the General Debate brings flight restrictions and a slot programme at Teterboro; Westchester and Newark absorb the overflow.
  2. Late August to September US Open Two weeks of inbound traffic to Westchester and Teterboro, peaking on the finals weekend.
  3. February and September Fashion Week Short, intense weeks of European arrivals; Teterboro parking is the constraint.
  4. Thanksgiving The long weekend The Wednesday before and the Sunday after are the busiest private days of the year on the East Coast.
  5. December to January Christmas and New Year Outbound to Florida, the Caribbean and the mountains peaks in the week before Christmas.
  6. Summer Fridays The Hamptons and Nantucket Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings from May to September fill the light jets and helicopters.

New York to Raleigh

The return from Teterboro, Westchester, Newark or JFK takes about an hour and a half southbound into the prevailing wind. A 5 pm departure from Teterboro lands at Raleigh-Durham before 6.30 pm.

Raleigh-Durham's FBOs get busy on Duke and North Carolina basketball nights and on Pinehurst championship weeks, so we secure the slot and the parking when we book the outbound.
