Van Nuys.
Van Nuys is Los Angeles flying private: the busiest dedicated business-aviation airport in the basin, no airline traffic, and a kerb-to-cabin experience twenty-five minutes from Beverly Hills, a calculation LAX loses every time.
Chartering from Van Nuys
No slots and no prior permission; the airport’s one hard rule is acoustic. Departures between 22:00 and 07:00 are barred for aircraft above the city’s noise threshold, and the noisiest types are banned outright. A late-evening departure is therefore a fleet-selection question, and we pick aircraft that keep the door open. Arrivals are unrestricted. Our lanes from here: Las Vegas from €8,300 all-in on a light jet, Los Cabos from €16,500 on a super light, and the transcontinental New York run from €57,500 on a super midsize.
International arrivals use the CBP facility at Signature West: staffed limited hours, landing rights arranged ahead, arrival held to a half-hour window. When the timings don’t fit, clearing at LAX first is the honest workaround, and we plan it that way from the start.
Facilities
Four FBO brands compete on the field with lounges, hangarage and ramp-side car access as standard. The 2,439-metre main runway handles everything through ultra long range; the binding limits at Van Nuys are noise rules, never concrete.
