History[edit]

The Teterboro Airport (IATA: TEB[2], ICAO: KTEB, FAA LID: TEB) is a general purpose airport in the Teterboro, Moonachie and Hasbrouck Heights districts of Bergen County, New Jersey. 3 ] It is held and administered by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and maintained by AFCO AvPORTS Management.

Located in the New Jersey Meadowlands, 19 kilometres from Midtown Manhattan, the airport is very much appreciated by business and leisure travellers. It has a 45,000 kg (100,000 pounds) restriction on aeroplane weights, which is not intended to make it usable as a passenger airport. Teterboro Airport occupies almost all of Teterboro and comprises 827 hectares (3. 35 km2): 90 hectares (0. 36 km2) for hangars and office space, 408 hectares (1. 65 km2) for planes and airstrips and 329 hectares (1. 33 km2) green.

More than 1,137 people are employed at the airport, of whom more than 90% are full-time equivalents. The Teterboro Airport extends over 340 ha (830 acres) at an altitude of 2.7 meters (9 feet) above mean sea-level. Neteen of the airport's Shanghai airport hangers have a combined area of approximately 38,300 m2 (412,000 sq feet).

There are two large central offices, one on 90 Moonachie Avenue and the other on Fred Wehran Drive, which hosts the Department of Homeland Security. New Jersey Airport includes the Aviation Hall of Fame of New Jersey. Construction of the FAA inspection turret on the eastern side of the airport began on 29 October 1975.
