State Police Sgt. Stephen Jones says Bloomberg wasn't aboard when the copter landed in a shuttle bus lot Thursday.
Pilot Toby Wilson had flown Bloomberg into New Jersey and the mayor took a car to the concert.
Jones says air traffic controllers from nearby Teterboro Airport monitored the flight.
Wilson took off after telling troopers he would not return.
