New York is the world's financial capital and the most popular transatlantic destination for private jet travellers from London. Fly non-stop in under 8 hours with Jet Hire Direct.
The London to New York route is the world's busiest transatlantic corridor for private aviation. Business leaders, financiers, and celebrities regularly charter jets between the two global capitals, with non-stop flights taking approximately 7 hours 30 minutes.
Most private jet travellers to New York use Teterboro Airport (TEB) in New Jersey, located just 12 miles from Midtown Manhattan. Teterboro is a dedicated general aviation airport with no commercial traffic, offering the fastest transfers to Manhattan via car or helicopter.
Westchester County Airport (HPN) is preferred by those heading to Connecticut, Westchester, or the Hamptons. JFK International Airport also has private jet facilities for those requiring customs clearance for onward connections.
Transatlantic flights require ultra-long-range aircraft such as the Gulfstream G650ER, Bombardier Global 7500, or Gulfstream G700. These aircraft offer bedroom suites, full kitchens, showers, and satellite communications - making the crossing a productive or restful experience.
Jet Hire Direct specialises in transatlantic charter, with extensive experience navigating the complexities of US customs, APIS requirements, and ESTA/visa considerations for private jet passengers.

A helicopter transfer to the Manhattan heliports takes around 8 minutes and is commonly used when the schedule is tight. Westchester serves Connecticut and northern suburbs, and JFK is used for the largest aircraft. US customs and immigration for private arrivals is cleared at the FBO.
