Route overview
A steady business route linking the Midwest's commercial hub with the New York financial capital, popular for meetings that don't fit a commercial schedule.
Private flights from Chicago to New York take under two hours nonstop aboard a light jet, connecting Midway's close-in private aviation ramp with Teterboro's dedicated FBOs. The route avoids the transfers and long lines that come with flying between two of the busiest commercial airport systems in the country.
