Lower Manhattan—often referred to as Downtown Manhattan—is the southernmost portion of Manhattan Island and the historic birthplace of New York City. It is a globally recognized financial and cultural center, home to Wall Street, the World Trade Center, Battery Park, and the headquarters of many major corporations and government institutions.
Geographically, Lower Manhattan is bordered by 14th Street to the north, the Hudson River to the west, the East River to the east, and New York Harbor to the south. As one of the most iconic and densely developed areas in the world, it attracts business travelers, dignitaries, and luxury leisure visitors year-round.
Whether you’re arriving for meetings in the Financial District, a visit to the New York Stock Exchange, or a luxury stay at a downtown hotel, JetOptions provides seamless and efficient private jet charter service to and from Lower Manhattan.

JetOptions arranges private flights into several top-rated airports offering quick access to Lower Manhattan:
Located in New Jersey, just 12 miles from downtown, Teterboro is the preferred airport for private aviation in the New York metro area. It offers multiple FBOs, fast customs processing, and the shortest ground transfer times into Manhattan.
Situated approximately 33 miles north of Lower Manhattan, HPN is a top alternative with high-end FBO facilities. It’s ideal for travelers heading into the city’s northern districts or those combining travel with destinations in Westchester County or Connecticut.
