Private Jet Charter from VNY
Fly private from Van Nuys Airport
Van Nuys Airport is one of the busiest general aviation airports in the world and the primary private-jet gateway for Los Angeles, serving the San Fernando Valley with a dense concentration of FBOs including Clay Lacy Aviation, Signature Flight Support, and Castle & Cooke Aviation. Its scale, on-site customs facility, and central location make it the default choice for entertainment-industry, business, and leisure travelers moving through LA.
Élan Aviation coordinates aircraft selection, crew scheduling, and ground handling for trips through VNY, drawing on an airport that comfortably supports everything from light jets to heavy, ultra-long-range aircraft. Whichever FBO best fits the itinerary, we manage the logistics so the aircraft and crew are positioned and ready.
Because Van Nuys is the default LA gateway given its FBO infrastructure, customs facility, and San Fernando Valley location, demand and ramp congestion peak sharply during awards season from January through March. Booking early during that window, and confirming noise-curfew timing for late departures, keeps a VNY trip running smoothly.
