Why charter a private flight for your Los Angeles journey?
Choosing a private charter is choosing unparalleled efficiency, privacy, and comfort. Imagine descending over the sprawling city lights and landing minutes from Beverly Hills, entirely bypassing the queues, delays, and complexities of commercial terminals. A private jet to Los Angeles is more than just a flight; it's a vital tool for entertainment executives closing deals in Hollywood, a seamless start to a luxury coastal escape to Malibu, or the guarantee that your high-value cargo arrives securely and on time. Travel on your schedule, with an itinerary tailored precisely to your needs.
The premier airports for Los Angeles private jet charters.
Selecting the optimal airport is key to a successful trip. Our platform provides access to all major executive airports in the region, each offering unique advantages for the discerning traveler.
-
Van Nuys Airport (VNY): As one of the world's busiest general aviation airports, Van Nuys is the undisputed epicenter of private jet travel in Los Angeles. Located in the San Fernando Valley, it offers premier FBOs, maximum privacy, and convenient access to Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Downtown LA.
-
Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR): An outstanding and incredibly convenient alternative to LAX, especially for destinations in Hollywood, Studio City, and the San Gabriel Valley. BUR is significantly less congested and known for its swift, hassle-free experience.
-
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX): While being a massive commercial hub, LAX features a dedicated private terminal (the Private Suite) and several FBOs away from the main terminals. It is a strategic 24/7 option for international travelers or those with connecting commercial flights.
-
Santa Monica Airport (SMO): The closest airport to the Westside cities of Santa Monica, Malibu, and Beverly Hills. Due to runway length, it is primarily suitable for light to midsize jets, offering unparalleled convenience for coastal destinations.
Strategic alternative airports:
-
John Wayne Airport (SNA): The primary airport for Orange County, serving as the gateway to exclusive coastal communities like Newport Beach and Laguna Beach. SNA is renowned for its high-end FBOs and strict noise abatement procedures, offering a discreet and efficient experience south of LA.
-
Long Beach Airport (LGB): An excellent and less congested alternative to LAX, LGB is known for its beautiful Art Deco terminal and easy access. It's a highly convenient option for travelers with destinations in Long Beach, Orange County, or the southern parts of Los Angeles County.
-
Ontario International Airport (ONT): A major airport serving the Inland Empire region, east of Los Angeles. ONT is a fantastic choice for clients looking to bypass LA traffic entirely, providing access to business hubs in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, as well as desert resort communities.

PSP is a very popular destination for leisure travel, especially during winter months and major events like the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
