Regulations: It is important to note
that Teterboro Airport does not accommodate scheduled carrier operations due to its
functional role as a general aviation reliever airport. To maintain its role in serving
the region's small aircraft needs, the airport imposes weight restrictions that prohibit
use of the airport by aircraft with operating weights in excess of 100,000 pounds. As a
result, Teterboro's utilization is comprised of a broad range of general aviation
aircraft.
