Another meeting is also in the works -- NBAA says it has requested a meeting with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to discuss the concerns of state officials who have called for reductions in flights at Teterboro Airport (TEB). Last Tuesday morning, a Challenger CL-600 aborted its takeoff roll on Runway 6 at TEB, crossed a road and hit a warehouse, injuring 20. Another CL-600 ran off the opposite end of the same runway after an aborted takeoff in December 2003. NBAA said it wants to work with the Port Authority to define options that enhance safety without diminishing capacity at TEB.
