Newark Liberty International Airport
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Newark have customs for international arrivals?
Yes. Newark Liberty International is a full international port of entry with extensive U.S. Customs and Border Protection facilities, ideal for transatlantic, Caribbean, and Latin American private jet arrivals.
Can the largest VIP airliners land at Newark?
Yes. Newark's 11,000-foot runway accommodates all heavy jets and VIP-configured airliners including the Boeing BBJ, Airbus ACJ, and wide-body VIP conversions.
Why use Newark instead of Teterboro?
Newark is preferred for international arrivals requiring extensive customs facilities, for travelers heading to New Jersey destinations, or when ultra-long-range aircraft require longer runways. For most Manhattan-bound clients, Teterboro remains faster and more discreet.
