Private jet Montreal to New York metro covers approximately 515 km, with typical block times around 1h 09m depending on winds, slot allocations and airport routing.
278 nm great-circle between YUL and TEB, 1h 09m typical block time.
“Montreal → New York metro prices off aircraft positioning on a 1h 09m sector — clients who can shift the window see the difference; clients who negotiate rarely do.”

BEST VALUE
Light Jet
The Eclipse 550 clears both runways and has range headroom on the 278 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €3,500
MOST POPULAR
Midsize
Midsize aircraft like the Cessna Citation VII are the workhorse of Montreal–New York metro — they hit the sweet spot on cabin comfort, block time and cost that the majority of charterers pick.

ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · PRICING INTELLIGENCE
On Montreal → New York metro, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Montreal before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
If the aircraft can't pick up a return charter from New York metro, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on YUL–TEB are set field by field — YUL and TEB each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 278 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on YUL–TEB, not the driver of the quote.
Montreal → New York metro demand cycles pull the 278 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at TEB constrains the lift available for 278 nm inbounds from Montreal — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices YUL–TEB beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 278 nm.
Slot coordination at TEB — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Montreal departures and raises handling on YUL–TEB.
At 278 nm, YUL–TEB sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at TEB is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the YUL–TEB quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Montreal → New York metro
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Montreal-area field, using it reduces positioning cost and often trims 5–15% off the quote.
Alternative arrivals near TEB can trim handling and slot pressure on YUL–TEB — see the airport comparison above.
YUL ↔ TEB (278 nm) is a corridor we monitor for empty legs — set an alert and match one when your dates flex.
Departing 2–4 hours off the peak slot window at YUL drops handling and slot fees on the 278 nm run to TEB.
278 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on YUL–TEB cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

Montreal → New York metro operational profile
Nonstop feasibility
Well within super-midsize range — comfortably nonstop on this corridor.
Typical flight level
FL280–FL380 on the short 278 nm YUL–TEB hop
Typical routing
Direct YUL–TEB routing, 278 nm great-circle with negligible airway detour.
Noise / curfew
Night curfew at New York metro (23:00–06:00 voluntary + noise fees).
Runway
7,000 ft (shorter of YUL and TEB) accommodates super-midsize and heavy jets on typical payloads.
Fuel stop likelihood
No fuel stop on 278 nm; YUL–TEB is a single-sector mission for every class we quote.
Cabin service
Light catering only — 278 nm block time leaves no window for a galley service.
Best departure time
Mid-morning (10:00–12:00) departure from YUL clears the weekday slot peak and lands TEB before midday handling pressure.

€3,000 – €4,700
Light Jet through Midsize over 278 nm YUL–TEB, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of YUL sit at the upper end.
Price stand: August 2026. YUL–TEB quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
YUL–TEB supply — thin
YUL — 7 archived movements (4 out / 3 in) from 3 operators. TEB — 58 based aircraft across 19 operators, 458 archived movements (230 out / 228 in) from 18 operators. Most YUL–TEB lift positions in, so expect a ferry element in the price and give us 48h+ where you can. Types working this pair: Gulfstream GVII-G600, Challenger 300, Global 7500, Challenger 350.
Positioning into Montreal (YUL)
With little metal based on the field, aircraft typically ferry in from CYUL (0 nm, 22 aircraft), CYHU (14 nm, 18 aircraft), CYMX (18 nm, 1 aircraft). A 30–60 minute positioning sector is normal and is already inside the quotes above — beware anyone showing a price that ignores it.
Positioning into Teterboro (TEB)
When the based fleet is committed, the next YUL–TEB lift comes from KEWR (11 nm, 1 aircraft), KMMU (16 nm, 3 aircraft), KLDJ (16 nm, 2 aircraft). Those ferries add roughly 20–45 minutes of billed time, which is why identical requests can quote differently on the same day.
Teterboro (TEB) — arriving from YUL
TEB arriving from YUL: No slot coordination; PPR for peak Sundays. Curfew: 23:00–06:00 voluntary + noise fees.
Teterboro (TEB)
Charter movement in our archive concentrates in July and August (60% of 458 recorded legs), and falls away in December and October. For YUL–TEB that means booking the peak weeks 2–3 weeks out: the based fleet sells out first, then ferried lift, then nothing, while December is where negotiation actually works.
Boeing BBJ / ACJ and fully-fuelled Global 7500
TEB enforces a 100,000 lb MTOW limit. Those airframes have to use a secondary field, which adds a ground transfer that usually wipes out the cabin advantage.
Global 7500 / Gulfstream G650 on a short sector
Over 278 nm an ultra-long-range cabin bills roughly €8,100/hour for a flight measured in single-digit hours, and rarely repositions economically to this pair. You pay ULR money for a cabin you cannot use.
New York metro — real alternatives, and when we use them
Newark (EWR), 10 km out — Only viable when TEB is closed or your aircraft exceeds TEB's 100k lb MTOW. Trade-off: slot scarcity. White Plains (HPN), 55 km out — Westchester alternative with no MTOW headache. Trade-off: 45 min to manhattan. Morristown (MMU), 45 km out — New Jersey alternative for west-suburban journeys. Trade-off: farther from manhattan.
