New Jersey's Teterboro Airport has temporarily shortened the active takeoff length of its secondary Runway 6/24 pending repairs to the EMAS installation at the 24 end (right side of photo). The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey which manages the dedicated business aviation gateway is working with a contractor to determine the duration and cost of the project.

Five of the busiest business aviation airfields in the U.S., including New Jersey’s Teterboro Airport (KTEB), are among the 40 “high-impact” airports where the FAA is imposing a reduction in air traffic as the government shutdown continues. Late last night, the FAA issued an emergency order mandating air carriers to reduce scheduled domestic flights at these airports by 10% from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily before next Friday, citing controller workforce and subsequent safety issues exacerbated by the shutdown.

But FAR Part 91 operators will not go unscathed. Notably, “general aviation operations may…be reduced by up to 10% at high-impact airports,” with the FAA specifically listing KTEB, Houston William P. Hobby (KHOU), and Dallas Love Field (KDAL). Other affected high-traffic business aviation airports include Washington Dulles (KIAD) and Las Vegas Harry Reid (KLAS).
