BBJs banned at Teterboro by legislation
Boeing’s efforts to gain access to Teterboro Airport (TEB), N.J., for its BBJ have been rebuffed, at least for this legislative year.

Boeing’s efforts to gain access to Teterboro Airport (TEB), N.J., for its BBJ have been rebuffed, at least for this legislative year. Rep. Steve Rothman (D-N.J.), backed by Sens. Frank Lautenburg (D-N.J.) and Jon Corzine (D-N.J.), attached the following language to the current FAA reauthorization bill, signed into law in late January: “None of the funds appropriated or limited by this Act may be used to change weight restrictions or prior permission rules at Teterboro Airport, Teterboro, New Jersey.”

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates Teterboro is an outspoken advocate of the BBJ ban and applauded the legislation, while business aviation groups feared it may set a dangerous precedent.
