Fly privately from London to New York on the world’s most flown long-haul charter route. Transatlantic private flights are the benchmark of business aviation: board at Farnborough or Luton minutes before departure, work or sleep in a full-size cabin, and land at Teterboro with Manhattan barely half an hour away.

Why Fly Private from London to New York?

  • Depart on your schedule — no fixed timetables, no connections
  • Private terminals at both ends: kerb-to-cabin in under 15 minutes
  • Clear US immigration at the FBO rather than queueing at JFK
  • Lie-flat berths and full galley service on ultra-long-range aircraft
  • Teterboro is 19 km from Midtown — closer than JFK on a good day

Nonstop or fuel stop?

The great-circle distance is about 5,570 km, flown westbound against the North Atlantic jet stream. Ultra-long-range and most heavy jets cross nonstop; a super-midsize such as the Challenger 350 will plan a short technical stop — typically Shannon, Keflavík or Gander — adding around an hour but saving a five-figure sum on the charter price. Eastbound, the return leg is usually 45–60 minutes quicker.

Which airports does this route use?

From London, Farnborough and Luton handle the bulk of transatlantic business jet traffic, with Stansted popular for larger aircraft and late-night slots. On the US side, Teterboro (TEB) in New Jersey is the default for Manhattan, while Westchester County (HPN) suits Connecticut and upstate destinations. US Customs pre-clears at the FBO, so most passengers are in a car within ten minutes of landing.
