Buildings

Nineteen hangars on the airport have a total area of approximately 412,000 square feet.
Two large office buildings are centrally located, one at 90 Moonachie Avenue and the other on Fred Wehran Drive. Both buildings occupy a total area of 133,418 square feet.
Additional office spaces and shop space have a total area of 165,611 square feet.
The airport has an operations building, maintenance facility and two fuel farms.

Control Tower

The control tower was constructed on the east side of the airport by the FAA and went into operation on October 29, 1975.

Runways

Runway 6-24 is 6,015 feet long and 150 feet wide and is equipped with High-Intensity Runway Edge Lights (HIRL).
The Runway 6 approach has an Instrument Landing System (ILS) and a Medium Approach Lighting System-R (MALS-R).
The runway 24 approach and is equipped with both VASI (Visual Approach Slope Indicator) and REIL (Runway End Identification Lighting) systems.
Runway 1-19 is 7,000 feet long and 150 feet wide and equipped with HIRL.
Both Runways 1 and 19 are equipped with REILS systems.
The Runway 1 approach is equipped with a VASI system.
The Runway 19 approach has an ILS.
Runway 1-19 was overlaid and grooved in summer of 2000, and included the installation of centerline and touchdown zone lighting was installed.
Runway 1 is the preferred runway for noise abatement procedures.

Taxiways

Approximately 4.2 miles of taxiways exist at the airport. Most are 60 feet wide, and many are equipped with centerline lighting systems.

Engineered Materials Arresting System

Another critical step in our quest to identify and develop innovative improvements in safety at Teterboro Airport includes the installation of the Engineered Materials Arresting System, or EMAS. This technology, which was pioneered by the Port Authority and the Federal Aviation Administration, is comprises of beds of specially designed aerated cement blocks. These blocks crumble under the weight of an aircraft, enabling a plane to stop safely and quickly in an emergency.

The first installation on the north end of Runway 6/24 was commissioned in October 2006. Another EMAS installation is planned for the south end of Runway 1/19, and will take place after the relocation of a local street.
