Met Gala Did Not Bring Traffic Premium to Teterboro — Actually Down 9.7%; New York Business Jet Flow Is Structurally Migrating From Core Hub to Satellite Airports
●Met
Analysis
During the 2025 Met Gala window (May 2–6), KTEB total movements were 1,777 — down 9.7% vs. the prior-week baseline of 1,969; arrivals fell 13.1%. Meanwhile KHPN arrivals grew 14.0% and KFRG arrivals grew 17.1%, with the two satellites absorbing approximately 59% of KTEB's spillover volume. The three airports combined declined just 2.4%, indicating NYC metro business jet demand was essentially flat — but flow redistributed across hubs. The implication for FBO operators and charter scheduling is direct: peak-event KTEB congestion expectations are themselves driving customers to proactively select alternative airports; satellite FBOs' event-period pricing power is rising. Confidence ★★ (AviGo data complete; no KG cross-verification).
