Illustrative, built from the block time above and a half-hour on the ground at each end. Shift the whole thing earlier or later and it still closes — the working window is set by flight time, not by the clock.
Deal work does not survive being done remotely. Diligence sessions, lender meetings, and closings run on people reading a room, and the calendar for them is set by counterparties rather than by an airline's published schedule. Lexington to New York City is 517 nautical miles of it, and 11 h 19 m by car in conditions that rarely hold.
At 517 nm this is a longer day: 1 h 57 m each way, 3 h 53 m of flying. It still closes. On site by 10 12, 5 h 21 m on the ground, home by 18 30. Whether that beats an overnight depends on how long the meeting runs, and we will say so plainly rather than selling the version that bills more hours.
Nobody is driving 11 h 19 m each way for a meeting, so the real comparison is the airline routing — and between Lexington and New York City that typically means a connection, a total block time well over half a day, and an arrival window you do not control. A single segment removes the misconnect risk rather than managing it.
Neither end of this leg constrains the aircraft. That means short-notice departures are realistic and a schedule change on the day is usually absorbable rather than a rebooking exercise.
We are a broker with three airframes on the sheet. That narrowness is the product: we know the operators, the fields and the real performance rather than guessing across forty types. Every flight is operated by an FAA Part 135 certificate holder.

No hub, no connection
The scheduled routing between Lexington and New York City generally requires a connection. One segment removes the misconnect risk rather than managing it.
Counterparties set the date
Diligence sessions and closings happen when the other side is available. A departure time you control is what makes those dates workable rather than aspirational.
Ten minutes from car to aircraft
Private terminals at both ends. No screening queue, no gate, no boarding group — you park, walk out, and go.
Parachute and autoland, standard
The Vision Jet carries CAPS, a whole-airframe parachute, and Safe Return, a one-button emergency autoland. No other jet in production offers either, at any price.
Staying over

Questions
Chartering LEX to TEB
How long is the flight from Lexington to New York City by private jet?
About 1 h 57 m of block time in a Cirrus Vision Jet, covering 517 nautical miles from Blue Grass Airport (KLEX) to Teterboro Airport (KTEB). That includes taxi, climb, and descent; actual time varies with winds and routing.
Can I fly LEX to TEB and back in the same day?
That is what the pair is for. Wheels up 07 45, on site in New York City by 10 12, 5 h 21 m on the ground, and home by 18 30 — 11 h 15 m door to door with no overnight.
How many colleagues can travel to New York City?
Four seats and 30 lb of baggage a head, on every aircraft in the fleet. We sell one uniform product rather than pricing by airframe, which is what lets us substitute whichever aircraft is available without changing your booking or your price.
Can the Vision Jet use Teterboro Airport?
Yes, with margin. Teterboro Airport has 7,000 feet of runway, well inside the Vision Jet's requirements in any normal condition.
What does a LEX to TEB charter cost?
The price is on this page. It is one all-in figure — aircraft, crew, landing fees, taxes and the ramp at both ends — quoted for four passengers and the hours on the ground shown above. Change the party size or the time you need at New York City and it re-prices as you move the controls. That is the figure that reaches accounts payable.
How much notice do you need for a New York City trip?
Most legs can be arranged inside 24 hours when an aircraft is available, which is the point of the product for urgent site visits and escalations. You get a straight yes or no immediately rather than a request left open.
