Teterboro is the default general-aviation gateway to Manhattan and handles more business jet movements than almost any field in the country; Westchester serves clients north of the city and in Connecticut. Slot and curfew rules apply at both, which is exactly the kind of detail a broker should be handling for you.

New York to Chicago, answered
How long is a private flight from New York to Chicago?
The distance is about 720 miles (626 nautical miles, the unit aviation plans in). Typical block times run from 1 h 42 m on a faster cabin to 2 h 32 m on a slower one, plus taxi. Winds and air-traffic routing move these figures either way.
Which airports do you use for Chicago?
Chicago Executive (KPWK) — Wheeling; the north-suburbs business-aviation field. Chicago Midway (KMDW) — Closest commercial-served field to the Loop. We recommend the field that fits your aircraft and your ground plans, not just the closest one.
What does this route cost?
Indicative brackets for this route run from about $5,125 one way in the smallest suitable cabin to $38,734 in the largest, all-in with our 10% fee and federal excise tax. These are computed from published hourly costs, not live availability — firm pricing comes from the operators we source for your dates.
Is Chicago to New York priced the same?
The same distance, so the same indicative brackets. The firm quote can move either way: an aircraft already positioned at the Chicago end costs less to start there, and the day's availability at each end decides which operators can offer the trip at all. Tell us which direction you are flying and we quote that leg.
Who operates the flight?
An air carrier certificated by the FAA under Part 135. Altessair is a charter broker and arranger, not a direct air carrier — the operator holds operational control. We verify certificate, insurance and safety ratings before quoting any operator.
