Flying private from Los Angeles

Los Angeles empty legs revolve around Van Nuys, the West Coast capital of business aviation. Short repositioning hops dominate — Las Vegas, the Bay Area, Scottsdale — which makes LA one of the best metros for catching light jet legs at four-figure prices.

Los Angeles private jet airports

  • Van Nuys KVNY

    One of the busiest general aviation airports in the world and the default LA departure point, in the San Fernando Valley.

  • Hollywood Burbank KBUR

    Closest to the studios and northeast LA; quick FBO access and less ramp congestion than VNY on peak days.

  • John Wayne (Orange County) KSNA

    Serves Orange County and the southern beach cities. Note the strict nighttime curfew — departure windows matter here.

  • Los Angeles International KLAX

    Used for larger aircraft and international private departures via its FBO ramps.

Typical routes and seasonality

Las Vegas is the signature route — a 45-minute hop with constant weekend repositioning, which is why LA–Vegas empty legs are among the cheapest private flights in the country. Bay Area, Scottsdale, Cabo San Lucas, and Aspen legs are frequent; transcontinental legs to New York and Florida appear on super-midsize and heavy jets.
