2,105 nm great-circle between YVR and TEB, 5h 20m typical block time.
“Vancouver → New York prices off aircraft positioning on a 5h 20m sector — clients who can shift the window see the difference; clients who negotiate rarely do.”
Depart YVR — Primary departure for Vancouver. · Arrive TEB — Closest to New York at 25 min; handles heavy metal. · Value pick: Bombardier Challenger 300 · Premium pick: Bombardier Global 5000
WHAT TO DO NEXT · AIRCRAFT CHOICE DECIDES THIS SECTOR
Aircraft choice matters more than usual here because the limiting field removes classes that otherwise have the range for the sector — the runway, not the distance, sets the short-list.
A second airport with comparable verified data serves at least one end of this pair, so the runway constraint can also be answered by changing the field rather than the aircraft.
ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · AIRCRAFT RECOMMENDATION ENGINE
BEST VALUE
Super Midsize
The Bombardier Challenger 300 clears both runways and has range headroom on the 2,105 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €22,500
FASTEST
Ultra Long Range
On 2,105 nm the Bombardier Global 5000 carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 25 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
Indicative all-in €38,000

Published runway length at YVR and TEB, read against the 2,105 nm sector.
Departure field
YVR · Vancouver
11,500ft
Arrival field
TEB · New York
7,000ft
YVR publishes 11,500 ft of runway, which accepts ultra-long-range aircraft and below at full performance.
TEB publishes 7,000 ft, accepting super-midsize aircraft and below.
The 2,105 nm sector is inside the usable range of midsize, super-midsize, heavy jet and ultra-long-range metal after IFR reserves.
Runway length at TEB (New York) — not range — removes heavy jet and ultra-long-range from this pair; Super-midsize is the practical ceiling into the field.
Nonstop and runway-legal on this pair: midsize and super-midsize.
Payload or fuel trade-offs apply where the published runway sits under the preferred length (heavy jet 7,500 ft preferred; ultra-long-range 8,000 ft preferred).
ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · PRICING INTELLIGENCE
On Vancouver → New York, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Vancouver before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
If the aircraft can't pick up a return charter from New York, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on YVR–TEB are set field by field — YVR and TEB each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 2,105 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on YVR–TEB, not the driver of the quote.
Vancouver → New York demand cycles pull the 2,105 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at TEB constrains the lift available for 2,105 nm inbounds from Vancouver — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices YVR–TEB beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 2,105 nm.
Slot coordination at TEB — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Vancouver departures and raises handling on YVR–TEB.
At 2,105 nm, YVR–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 YVR–TEB quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Vancouver → New York
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Vancouver-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 YVR–TEB — see the airport comparison above.
YVR ↔ TEB (2,105 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 YVR drops handling and slot fees on the 2,105 nm run to TEB.
2,105 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on YVR–TEB cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

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.
Phenom 100 / Citation M2 and comparable light jets
At 2,105 nm this sector is beyond a comfortable light-jet leg with full seats and bags — you buy a fuel stop, and a stop costs more than the class saves. It is also the class where golf bags and ski gear stop fitting.
New York — 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.

ASK A QUESTIONAirborne time is approximately 5h 20m on the 2,105 nm great-circle sector in a midsize, or about 5h 35m block to block once taxi at YVR and TEB is counted. Across the 2 classes that clear both runways nonstop, block time runs from 5h 20m in a super-midsize to 5h 35m in a midsize. Runway length at TEB — not range — keeps heavy jet and ultra-long-range off the pair, so these times assume super-midsize or smaller. Figures are indicative great-circle estimates; actual times move with routing, winds and ATC on the day.
Over the 2,105 nm sector our desk models super-midsize charter from €19,900 one-way and ultra-long-range from €32,500. light jet aircraft cannot cover the 2,105 nm nonstop after IFR reserves, which is why the modelled ladder opens at super-midsize rather than a smaller cabin. midsize aircraft clear both fields on this pair but carry no modelled row here, so those cabins are quoted on request. ultra-long-range aircraft operate into TEB under the published performance limit rather than at full runway performance, which is a payload and fuel planning point rather than a separate price. These are modelled charter estimates for this pair — not live quotes, not observed transactions — and the final figure moves with aircraft positioning and availability on the date.
Bombardier Global 5000 (Ultra Long Range) is our standing pick — On 2,105 nm the Bombardier Global 5000 carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 25 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
TEB is closest at 25 min transfer. No coordination required
TEB at 25 min transfer is the fastest into New York.
Yes — on a full round trip, the operator may need a fresh crew on the return. Confirm at booking.
An aircraft based near Vancouver with follow-on work after New York will always undercut an equivalent aircraft flown in for the trip.
Yes — UN General Assembly in mid Sep materially compresses aircraft availability; book 4–8 weeks ahead for that window.
Observed pricing
On a 2,105 nm sector our fixed-price model quotes €20,200 for a midsize and €40,800 for an ultra long range in standard season — 4 cabin classes clear the range and runway test here.
