The plane, a Swearingen aircraft, was on final approach to the airport when the pilot reported engine problems, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
The plane crashed at the end of the runway at about 11:30 a.m. and burst into flames. The blaze was soon extinguished, police said.
Moonachie police said the injured person was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center. That person's condition was not immediately available.
The FAA Web site identified the plane as a multi-engine turbo-prop registered to Maci Leasing Corp. in Edison. There was no phone listing for such a business.
The accident was the third at Teterboro Airport this year. On Feb. 2, 20 people were injured when a corporate jet carrying 11 people skidded off a runway during an aborted takeoff, shot across a busy road and slammed into a warehouse.
On March 8, a business jet overshot a runway and stopped in snow and mud about 200 feet past the end of Runway 1. The two passengers and two crew members walked away uninjured.
