Teterboro (TEB)
The first choice for Manhattan. Roughly 30 to 60 minutes from the show venues depending on traffic, with several premium FBOs. Slots and parking fill earliest here, so booking ahead is essential.

Why charter
The smart way to do Fashion Week
New York Fashion Week compresses dozens of runway shows, presentations, and after-parties into a handful of days across Manhattan, twice a year. When buyers, designers, editors, and front-row guests all descend at once, commercial schedules and crowded terminals become the bottleneck. A private charter puts the calendar back in your hands.
- Fly on your timetable, not an airline's. Land in time for a morning show and leave straight after the last look, even late at night.
- Skip the main-terminal crush. Private FBOs at TEB and HPN mean a quiet lounge, fast screening, and steps from cabin to car.
- Beat the gridlock. Both general-aviation airports sit closer to Manhattan than a typical commercial arrival, trimming transfer time during peak traffic.
- Keep your team together. One cabin for stylists, garments, samples, and equipment, with privacy for last-minute calls and fittings en route.
- Stay flexible. Shift a departure by an hour or add a stop without rebooking penalties or missed connections.
Airports and FBOs
Where to land for Manhattan
Choosing the right airport is the single biggest factor in a smooth Fashion Week arrival. Slot availability and ramp space tighten sharply during show weeks, so flexibility on field matters.
Westchester County (HPN)
A strong alternative when TEB is saturated. Convenient for the Upper East Side and Connecticut, with calmer ramps and good FBO service. Often the better call for peak-weekend slots.
Newark / JFK (EWR / JFK)
For heavy jets that exceed TEB's runway or weight limits, or transatlantic arrivals, the major airports offer dedicated general-aviation handling and customs for international guests.
Aircraft options
Match the jet to your group
From a solo editor to a full brand entourage, we size the aircraft to your passenger count, baggage, and route. Garments, sample cases, and equipment all factor into cabin and baggage choices.
Light jets
One to two passengers on a short regional hop. Aircraft like the Phenom 300 or Citation CJ keep costs efficient for quick in-and-out trips.
Midsize jets
Teams of four to six with luggage. A Citation XLS or Hawker 900XP balances cabin comfort, range, and value for East Coast and Midwest origins.
Super-midsize & heavy jets
Larger entourages and transcontinental or transatlantic arrivals. A Challenger 350 or Gulfstream G450 adds a stand-up cabin and generous baggage for wardrobe and gear.
Plan ahead
Booking windows and ground transfers
Fashion Week is one of the busiest stretches of the year for New York-area general aviation. Aircraft availability and FBO ramp parking are the first things to sell out, so timing your request well is what secures the right aircraft at a fair rate.
- Confirm four to six weeks out for typical trips. Push earlier for heavy jets, peak weekend slots, or international arrivals.
- Have a backup field in mind. If TEB ramp space is gone, HPN keeps you close to Manhattan without compromise.
- We pre-arrange FBO handling, fuel, catering, and crew so there are no surprises on the day.
- Chauffeured ground transfers meet you at the ramp. SUVs and executive sedans staged for multi-stop show days across the city.
- Flexible return timing lets you leave right after the final show rather than waiting on a fixed schedule.

Questions
New York Fashion Week charter FAQs
When is New York Fashion Week and when should I charter a jet?
New York Fashion Week runs twice a year, each February and each September, spanning roughly seven to nine days of shows across Manhattan. Because both the aircraft fleet and the FBO ramp space around New York fill up fast during these weeks, we recommend confirming your charter four to six weeks out, and earlier for larger-cabin aircraft or peak weekend slots.
Which airports and FBOs are best for flying privately into New York Fashion Week?
Teterboro (TEB) in New Jersey is the closest and most popular general-aviation airport for Manhattan, typically 30 to 60 minutes from the show venues depending on traffic. Westchester County (HPN) is an excellent alternative when TEB slots or ramp space are full, and it suits guests heading to the Upper East Side or Connecticut. Larger jets that exceed TEB's runway or weight limits can also use Newark (EWR) or JFK.
What size jet should I charter for a Fashion Week trip?
For one or two people on a short hop, a light jet such as a Phenom 300 or Citation CJ is efficient. Small teams of four to six typically fly a midsize jet like a Citation XLS or Hawker 900XP. Larger entourages, brands, or transcontinental and transatlantic arrivals usually choose a super-midsize or heavy jet such as a Challenger 350 or Gulfstream G450 for stand-up cabins and extra baggage room for garments and equipment.
How much does a private jet to New York Fashion Week cost?
Pricing depends on the route, aircraft category, trip duration, and how peak the dates are during Fashion Week. We never quote a flat fee because the drivers vary: a regional light-jet hop is far less than a transcontinental heavy-jet charter, and high-demand TEB slots can raise repositioning costs. Send us your city pair and dates and we will build transparent, all-in aircraft options with no membership fees.
Can Private JetOne arrange ground transport from the FBO to Manhattan?
Yes. We coordinate chauffeured ground transfers directly from the FBO ramp to your hotel, showroom, or venue, including SUVs and executive sedans, and can stage cars for multiple stops across show days. Tell us your itinerary and we will have transport waiting when you land, with our team reachable 24/7 throughout your trip.
