Vendor requirements at Teterboro Airport

Teterboro, NJ. TEB. Sponsor: Port Authority of New York and New Jersey

At Teterboro, no one may sell services without the consent of the Port Authority, and TEB security rules are set separately by the Teterboro Airport Manager. We found no published TEB minimum standards or vendor insurance limits, so in practice access runs through the FBOs plus Port Authority ID and vehicle rules. Anyone driving on the AOA must complete Port Authority Airfield Driver Training.

Mostly set by agreement Last reviewed

Permit to operate

Port Authority consent to operate, issued by Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

Port Authority rules (Chapter XV.A.2) bar the sale of merchandise or services at an air terminal without the consent of the Port Authority. No named vendor permit, fee or application process was found.

Insurance minimums

The airport does not publish fixed insurance limits for vendors. Limits are set in each permit or agreement, so ask the airport or your hosting FBO for the exact numbers.

Badging and security

  • AOA and SIDA access requires a valid Airport ID with unescorted access, or an approved alternative.
  • Display the ID in full view, above waist level, on your outermost garment.
  • TEB uses security regulations established separately by the Teterboro Airport Manager.

Vehicles and ramp driving

  • Drivers must complete Port Authority Airfield Driver Training and hold a valid license from their state of residence.
  • Type 2 to 4 vehicles need registration, Port Authority plates and an inspection sticker, with inspection every 12 months (fuel-handling vehicles every 6 months).
  • Owners of Type 2 to 5 vehicles must keep a current certificate of insurance on file, in amounts the Port Authority requires.
  • Vehicles without Port Authority plates, and drivers without ID driving privileges, must be escorted by someone with driver and escort privileges.
  • 20 MPH on the AOA and 10 MPH in ramp and apron passenger loading areas. Stay 30 ft from aircraft passenger doors and pathways in use.
  • Vehicles other than Port Authority vehicles may use runways, taxiways and safety areas only under escort, with a two-way radio on ground control and a rotating amber light from sunset to sunrise and in low visibility.

Training

  • Port Authority Airfield Driver Training Course for AOA driving.

Washing and environmental rules

  • Cleaning and maintenance beyond common ramp service only in areas the Manager designates.
  • Ramp and apron scrubbing must use approved vacuum-type scrubbers, with wastewater to a triturator or approved sanitary sewer and schedules filed with the Manager.
  • Prevent fuel from entering storm drains and follow the environmental requirements the Manager provides.

Working under an FBO or tenant

FBOs at TEB likely impose their own vendor insurance and access rules, but no FBO vendor policy was published or found.

What we could not confirm

  • No TEB minimum standards, vendor permit or published insurance limits were found.
  • Whether a mobile vendor working for an FBO customer needs its own Port Authority permit is not stated.
  • Vehicle insurance limits (Appendix B) and the TEB-specific chapter (XVI) could not be read; Chapter XVI may change the general vehicle rules shown here.
  • TEB badge types, CHRC/STA process, fees and renewal were not found.
  • Port Authority insurance tables for tenant alteration contractors (2021) list $25M general liability and $25M auto for airside work. They cover construction contractors, not service vendors, so they are not a confirmed vendor requirement.
  • Port Authority contractor documents from 2021 name a private management company for TEB. The current operator arrangement was not verified.
