Questions

Which airports do private jets use for Los Angeles?

Van Nuys (VNY). VNY is mainly business aviation.

Where do you check in for a private flight at VNY?

At a private terminal, called an FBO, not the airline terminal. At VNY: Signature Aviation VNY West, Signature Aviation VNY East, Signature Aviation VNY North, Jet Aviation Van Nuys and Clay Lacy Aviation. Your broker or operator tells you which one.

Do I need to clear customs at a private terminal?

On international flights, yes. Many private terminals handle it on site, but hours vary by airport and some need notice in advance. Your operator arranges it; check the hours if you land late.

Aircraft suitability is our reading of runway length and airport rules, not an operator's limit: your operator decides what can land. Hours and handlers change, so confirm before you travel. All cities.
