Teterboro Airport, General aviation airport in Bergen County, United States
Teterboro Airport sits in the New Jersey Meadowlands and offers two runways with terminals designed for private aviation. The facility serves business travelers and smaller aircraft exclusively, operating without scheduled passenger airline service.
Walter C. Teter acquired the land in 1917 and opened the facility two years later as one of the first civilian airports in the country. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey took over management in 1949 and expanded it to accommodate modern business aircraft.
The Aviation Hall of Fame of New Jersey, established in 1972 within the airport grounds, exhibits artifacts and documents highlighting regional aeronautical achievements.
The location near Manhattan makes this airport accessible for business travelers, while strict weight limits and noise regulations apply to all operations. Visitors should note that the surrounding area offers no walking paths or viewing points for plane watching.
A museum on airport grounds preserves memorabilia and documents related to regional aviation history since 1972. The collection shows how New Jersey contributed to the development of civilian flight during the early decades of the 20th century.
