FBO & Private Aviation Ground Transportation
Private aviation ground transportation requires specialized protocols that differ significantly from commercial airport service. FBO (Fixed-Base Operator) facilities at Teterboro, White Plains, and other private aviation airports demand discretion, security awareness, and understanding of private aviation operational procedures.
Teterboro Airport (TEB) Expertise: As the primary private aviation gateway to Manhattan, Teterboro Airport handles 100,000+ private operations annually. Our chauffeurs maintain familiarity with all major FBO terminals including Signature Flight Support, Atlantic Aviation, Meridian, and Jet Aviation. Each FBO has distinct vehicle access protocols, security requirements, and preferred positioning areas that experienced private aviation chauffeurs navigate efficiently.
Tail Number Coordination: Private aviation service requires aircraft tail number information to coordinate with FBO ground staff and monitor flight status. Unlike commercial aviation's published schedules, private flights often have fluid departure times that require close communication with flight operations. Our dispatch team coordinates directly with FBO personnel using tail numbers to track actual wheels-up and wheels-down times.
Security & Discretion Protocols: Private aviation clients expect absolute discretion regarding travel schedules, passenger identities, and destination information. Our chauffeurs receive specific training in privacy protocols appropriate for high-net-worth individuals, corporate executives, and celebrity clientele. Conversations remain professional and limited unless initiated by passengers; no photography or social media activity occurs during private aviation service.

Private Aviation Service Protocols
Departure Service (Airport Dropoff)
Private aviation departures require precise timing coordination. Unlike commercial aviation's 2-hour advance arrival recommendations, private aviation passengers typically arrive 15-30 minutes before scheduled departure. Our chauffeurs coordinate with flight operations to confirm aircraft readiness, ensuring passengers don't wait unnecessarily at the FBO. For international departures requiring customs/immigration processing, arrival timing extends to 45-60 minutes before departure.
Luggage Handling: Chauffeurs deliver passengers and luggage directly to FBO entrance where ground staff assumes luggage loading responsibility. Unlike commercial airports, passengers don't handle their own luggageâFBO personnel coordinate aircraft loading while passengers proceed to departure lounge.
Arrival Service (Airport Pickup)
Our dispatch team monitors inbound flights using tail numbers and direct FBO communication. Wheels-down notifications trigger chauffeur positioning at the designated FBO terminal. Private aviation arrivals involve minimal delay between landing and passenger readinessâtypically 5-15 minutes for domestic flights, 20-40 minutes for international arrivals requiring customs processing.
Meet & Greet Positioning: FBO terminals provide vehicle-side pickup for arriving passengers. Chauffeurs position vehicles in designated pickup areas, meeting passengers as they exit the FBO building. Signage isn't typically necessary for private aviation serviceâchauffeurs communicate directly with FBO ground staff who escort passengers to vehicles.
Multi-Leg Itineraries
Private aviation often involves same-day multi-city trips (for example, Manhattan â Boston meeting â return to Manhattan same evening). Ground transportation coordinates with aircraft schedules, providing airport dropoff for outbound departure and return pickup for evening arrival. Our operations team tracks all flight legs, adjusting pickup times automatically if departure delays or early arrivals occur.
Typical Private Aviation Client Scenarios
Corporate Executives
C-suite executives at Manhattan corporations (particularly financial services and professional services firms) utilize private aviation for time-sensitive business travel. Common pattern: early morning departure from Teterboro to client meetings in Boston, Washington DC, or Chicago, with same-day return to NYC. Ground transportation handles residence-to-FBO morning transport (typical 5:00-7:00 AM pickups) and evening FBO-to-residence returns.
High-Net-Worth Individuals
Private individuals with aircraft ownership or fractional jet access use ground transportation for leisure travel (Florida, Caribbean) and business purposes. Discretion and privacy represent paramount concernsâchauffeurs avoid any discussion of travel plans and maintain strict confidentiality. Luxury SUVs (Escalade, Navigator) are commonly preferred over sedans for the additional luggage capacity required for leisure travel.
Corporate Flight Departments
Large corporations with flight departments coordinate ground transportation for multiple executives traveling together or separately. Corporate accounts establish protocols for authorized travelers, billing procedures, and service standards. Account managers maintain relationships with flight department coordinators who schedule ground transportation in advance of planned trips.
Vehicle Selection for Private Aviation
Executive Sedans - Business Travel
BMW 7 Series and Mercedes S-Class sedans provide appropriate presentation for business aviation without excessive ostentation. Black exterior color maintains professional discretion. Sedan luggage capacity accommodates standard business travel (one checked bag plus carry-on per passenger). Mobile office capabilities (Wi-Fi, power outlets) enable continued work during ground transportation.
Luxury SUVs - Leisure & Family Travel
Escalade and Navigator SUVs handle leisure travel luggage requirements (golf clubs, ski equipment, extended vacation bags). Families traveling with children benefit from spacious interiors and available car seat installations. The elevated ride height provides psychological comfort appreciated by passengers accustomed to business jet cabin proportions.
Sprinter Vans - Corporate Groups
When corporate flight departments transport multiple executives on the same aircraft, Sprinter van ground service ensures all passengers travel together to/from the FBO. This proves particularly efficient for board meetings or executive retreats where 6-12 passengers arrive on a single aircraft. Forward-facing seating with individual climate controls maintains executive comfort standards.
Booking Private Aviation Ground Transportation
Provide Flight Information
Submit tail number (registration number of aircraft, such as N123AB), FBO terminal name (Signature, Atlantic, Meridian, etc.), airport code (TEB, HPN, MMU, FRG), and scheduled departure or arrival time. For departures, include origin address; for arrivals, include destination address. Passenger count and luggage requirements help optimize vehicle selection.
Coordination with Flight Operations
Our dispatch team coordinates with FBO ground operations and flight departments (when corporate flights) to monitor real-time flight status. Tail number tracking enables precise monitoring of departures and arrivals. Schedule changes receive automatic notification; chauffeur positioning adjusts accordingly without requiring client intervention.
Service Execution
For departures, chauffeur arrives at origin address at scheduled time, ensuring FBO arrival timing aligns with aircraft readiness. For arrivals, chauffeur positions at FBO terminal based on wheels-down notification from dispatch. Direct communication with FBO ground staff ensures seamless passenger handoff from aircraft to ground transportation.
