Pending Repairs, KTEB's Runway 24 Temporarily Shortened

Following an inspection by the FAA and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ), it was determined that necessary repairs to the engineered materials arresting system at the northeast end of Teterboro Airport’s (KTEB) 6,013-foot Runway 6/24 are required.

As a result, the airport has "administratively shortened" Runway 24 by 1,003 feet for takeoff, reducing the takeoff run available, takeoff distance available, and accelerate stop distance available to 4,850 feet.

According to the Teterboro Users Group, the additional 160 feet of declared distance reduction reflects that aircraft departing Runway 24 will be cleared for takeoff from taxiways R or V.

Operations on Runway 6 will remain unaffected and the landing distance available for Runway 24 remains 6,013 feet. A spokesperson from PANYNJ told AIN that the agency is currently working with a contractor to determine the work schedule and cost of repairs.
