Met Gala Week KTEB Flow Actually Declines, KHPN Notably Absorbs Spillover — NY Large-Event Business Jet Flow Redistribution Pattern Established
Analysis
★★ 2025 Met Gala week (May 1–7) KTEB business jet movements at 2,379, MoM −12.5% vs. prior week; YoY −21.9% vs. 2024. KHPN MoM +20.1% to 1,658, YoY +15.9%. Two airports combined essentially flat (MoM −1.5%), but YoY −9.8%. Data reveals that KTEB may implement flow control / slot restrictions during large events, causing systematic diversion to KHPN. 2026 Met Gala expected in early May (specific date pending official confirmation) — brokers and FBO operators should include KHPN, KFRG, and other alternates in capacity planning; KTEB parking reservation value may be overestimated.
