Cirrus Vision Jet Charter
New York City and Home the Same Day
1 h 28 m in the air, and roughly ten minutes of airport at each end. That gap, not the flight time, is what makes the day trip work.

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. For the Research Triangle to New York City version, the gap is 372 nm — far enough to cost a day, close enough that losing one feels absurd.
Leave at 07 15, on site by 09 43, and the aircraft waits while you work. 6 h 19 m on the ground is a full session, and you are home by 18 30. The hotel night, the second working day, and the evening away all come off the cost of the trip — which is usually where the real money was.
Both ends of this pair have hub airline service, so there is a nonstop and we are not going to pretend otherwise. What the nonstop does not give you is the hour before it: the drive to the main terminal, the screening queue, the gate, and a departure time chosen months ago by a network planner. Door to door, the private version usually saves two to three hours in each direction — and it saves them at the ends of the day, where they are worth the most.
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.
One type, learned properly. We place this leg with a Part 135 operator we already know on the Vision Jet, in an aircraft carrying CAPS — a parachute over the entire airframe — and a one-button emergency autoland any passenger can use. For a company putting four people on one aircraft, those are the specifications that matter.

6 h 19 m on the ground, home by 18 30
Wheels up 07 45, on site 09 43, back on the ramp at RDU by 18 00. 2 h 56 m of flying in total, and nobody's second working day spent in transit.
The hour before the nonstop
There is an airline nonstop on this pair. The private version skips the main terminal, the screening queue, and the published departure time — two to three hours door to door, in each direction.
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.
The Fields
Both ends of this leg
Private terminals at each end. No screening queue, no gate, and a walk from the car to the aircraft measured in yards.

Questions
Chartering RDU to TEB
How long is the flight from Research Triangle to New York City by private jet?
About 1 h 28 m of block time in a Cirrus Vision Jet, covering 372 nautical miles from Raleigh-Durham International Airport (KRDU) to Teterboro Airport (KTEB). That includes taxi, climb, and descent; actual time varies with winds and routing.
Can I fly RDU 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 09 43, 6 h 19 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, every flight, with 32 cubic feet for bags, samples, and materials. The airframe is certified for more, but four is the load that works with fuel and luggage on a leg like this, so it is the number we quote against.
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 RDU to TEB charter cost?
Pricing depends on date, direction, passenger count, and whether the aircraft is already positioned near Research Triangle. Halcyon quotes one all-in figure — aircraft, crew, fees, taxes and the ramp at both ends — inside the hour. 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.
