Fly privately from New York to Barbados through Grantley Adams International Airport (BGI). Compare aircraft by passenger load, baggage and operator-confirmed nonstop capability for your travel date.
TEB → BGI
Grantley Adams in Barbados has a runway of about 3,350 m and takes every jet. The estimate table shows which classes fly from Teterboro nonstop and which need a fuel stop.
Going on to Mustique? The island strip takes propeller aircraft only, so we book the connection from Barbados with your jet.

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.
WHICH AIRCRAFT
BEST VALUE
Midsize
The Bombardier Learjet 60XR clears both runways and has range headroom on the 1,835 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €17,300 (≈ €2,163 per passenger, 8 seats)
FASTEST
Heavy
On 1,835 nm the Dassault Falcon 50EX carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 24 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
Indicative all-in €34,600 (≈ €2,662 per passenger, 13 seats)

TEB publishes 7,000 ft of runway, which accepts super-midsize aircraft and below at full performance.
BGI publishes 11,000 ft, accepting ultra-long-range aircraft and below.
The 1,835 nm sector is inside the usable range of midsize, super-midsize, heavy jet and ultra-long-range metal after IFR reserves.
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).
WHAT DRIVES THE PRICE
On New York → Barbados, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to New York before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
If the aircraft can't pick up a return charter from Barbados, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on TEB–BGI are set field by field.
Across 1,835 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on TEB–BGI, not the driver of the quote.
New York → Barbados demand cycles pull the 1,835 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at BGI constrains the lift available for 1,835 nm inbounds from New York — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices TEB–BGI beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 1,835 nm.
Permission rules at BGI are confirmed with the handler on TEB–BGI.
At 1,835 nm, TEB–BGI sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at BGI is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the TEB–BGI quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on New York → Barbados
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another New York-area field, using it reduces positioning cost and often trims 5–15% off the quote.
Alternative arrivals near BGI can trim handling and slot pressure on TEB–BGI — see the airport comparison above.
TEB ↔ BGI (1,835 nm) is a corridor we monitor for empty legs — set an alert and match one when your dates flex.
TEB: No slot coordination; PPR for peak Sundays.
1,835 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on TEB–BGI cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

Alongside the based fleet, the nearest recorded bases are KEWR (11 nm, 1 aircraft), KMMU (16 nm, 3 aircraft), KLDJ (16 nm, 2 aircraft).
Teterboro (TEB) — departing for BGI
TEB departing for BGI: No slot coordination; PPR for peak Sundays. Curfew: 23:00–06:00 voluntary + noise fees.
Boeing BBJ / ACJ and fully-fuelled Global 7500
TEB enforces a 100,000 lb actual gross weight 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 1,835 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.
Global 7500 / Gulfstream G650 on a short sector
Over 1,835 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 — real alternatives, and when we use them
Newark (EWR), 10 km out — Only viable when TEB is closed or your aircraft exceeds TEB's 100,000 lb actual gross weight limit. Trade-off: slot scarcity. White Plains (HPN), 55 km out — Westchester alternative — no 100,000 lb actual gross weight limit. 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 4h 40m on the 1,835 nm great-circle sector in a midsize, or about 4h 55m block to block once taxi at TEB and BGI is counted. Across the 3 classes that clear both runways nonstop, block time runs from 4h 45m in a super-midsize to 5h 20m in a light jet. Both fields cap the sector below its range envelope, so these times assume the light jet, midsize and super-midsize short-list rather than the full fleet. Figures are indicative great-circle estimates; actual times move with routing, winds and ATC on the day.
Over the 1,835 nm sector our desk models midsize charter from €15,400 one-way and heavy jet from €33,800. Neither field length nor sector range removes a cabin category here, so the spread between midsize and heavy jet reflects cabin choice rather than an operating restriction on the pair. The accepted rows more than double between midsize and heavy jet, so cabin selection is the largest single line item a client controls on this pair. light jet and super-midsize aircraft clear both fields on this pair but carry no modelled row here, so those cabins are quoted on request. heavy jet 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.
Dassault Falcon 50EX (Heavy) is our standing pick — On 1,835 nm the Dassault Falcon 50EX carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 24 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
TEB is the primary departure. Primary airport for this corridor
Runway constraints dominate — Dassault Falcon 50EX is currently the sweet-spot answer.
Depends on the specific airport — some Caribbean fields are STOL-only. See the airport comparison.
Dec–Apr high season; hurricane risk pushes cost and cancellation risk Aug–Oct.
Yes — NY Fashion Week in Feb & Sep materially compresses aircraft availability; book 4–8 weeks ahead for that window.
Field capability
For a New York–Barbados trip continuing to Mustique, Mustique Airport has a published 988 m runway and is served by propeller aircraft, not jets; plan the BGI jet arrival and the onward aircraft as separate sectors.
