Why fly private to Los Angeles
Los Angeles sprawls, and its airports reflect that. The good news for private flyers is that the region offers a dedicated general-aviation airport minutes from the studios and Beverly Hills — no need to fight LAX traffic unless your jet requires it.
Van Nuys (VNY) is the private jet capital of the West Coast. It handles the lion's share of LA's charter traffic and sits a short drive from the Westside. Hawthorne (HHR) sits even closer to the beach and downtown, while LAX remains the option for long-haul international arrivals.
Choosing your aircraft
A midsize jet covers most domestic routes into LA with comfort. For transcontinental flights from the East Coast, a super-midsize or heavy jet gives you a cabin worth the five hours. From Asia or Europe, plan on a heavy or ultra-long-range jet.
Arrival tips
LA traffic is legendary — schedule ground transport in advance, especially for evening arrivals. VNY's FBOs are well-versed in discreet, efficient turnarounds.
