TEB → FAB
Private jet charter, New York to London
The busiest private transatlantic leg there is. Teterboro to Farnborough or Luton avoids both Kennedy and Heathrow, which on a normal day saves more time on the ground than the aircraft saves in the air.

The airports
This route is flown Teterboro (TEB) to Farnborough (FAB). Business-aviation fields are where most of the time saving on a private flight actually comes from — the aircraft is a smaller part of it than people expect. You arrive minutes before departure, walk to the aircraft, and clear customs on the ramp rather than in a hall.
Other fields serve both cities and may suit you better depending on where you are starting and finishing. We check that against your actual address rather than defaulting to the best-known airport.
What actually constrains this leg
- Eastbound is materially quicker than westbound — the jet stream is worth an hour or more, and a westbound winter leg is where a heavy jet can become a tech stop.
- Farnborough and Luton both clear customs on the ramp. Neither is a terminal experience.
- Crew duty limits, not aircraft range, are usually what shapes the schedule on this route.
Aircraft
Categories that fly this nonstop
In normal conditions and with a typical load. Winter headwinds and a full cabin can push a marginal category into a fuel stop, which we check before quoting rather than on the day.
- Heavy jet10–16 seats · 3,900–5,000 nmNeeds longer runways and more handling, which rules out some of the smaller fields a light jet can use.
- Ultra-long-range jet12–19 seats · 6,000–7,700 nmThe most expensive category to position. If the aircraft is not already near you, that repositioning is on the quote.
- VIP airliner19–50+ seats · 4,000–6,000 nmAirport options narrow considerably, and lead times are longer than for a business jet.
What this costs
We do not publish a figure for this route, and we would treat one on somebody else's site with suspicion. Charter is priced per aircraft per leg, and the biggest variable is whether a suitable aircraft is already near New York or has to be positioned in. That moves the price by thousands and it changes day to day.
Send us the dates and you get the real number, itemised — aircraft and crew time, positioning, landing and handling at both ends, taxes, and our fee as its own line. The charter page sets out how it is built.
