Private Jet Charter Los Angeles
Privatjet Los Angeles
Few cities reward flexibility the way Los Angeles does. Studio lots and canyon houses, Rodeo Drive boutiques and Michelin-starred kitchens, ocean air in Malibu and desert light an hour east – all spread across nearly 500 square miles, so where you land matters as much as when.
Los Angeles is served by several dedicated private jet airports, with Van Nuys Airport (VNY) acting as one of the busiest general aviation airports in the world. Burbank, John Wayne and Long Beach each sit close to a different part of the city, so you can position your flight within minutes of a Beverly Hills meeting or an Orange County office rather than an hour of freeway from either.
Global Charter operates across LA's full network of executive airports and FBOs. We source aircraft to suit your route, coordinate handling and ground services at both ends, arrange luxury transport across the city, and stay responsive from first enquiry through to landing.
Die besten Flughäfen in Los Angeles für Privatjetflüge
Four airports handle the majority of private traffic in Los Angeles, and the right choice usually saves more time than any ground arrangement can.
- Van Nuys (VNY): In the San Fernando Valley, 15 miles north of downtown and around 30 minutes from Beverly Hills. Handles no scheduled airline traffic at all, so the entire field is built around private aviation – eight FBOs, the deepest aircraft availability in the region and the shortest walk from car to cabin anywhere in LA. Its 8,000ft main runway accepts everything up to heavy and ultra-long-range types.
- Hollywood Burbank (BUR): 12 miles north of downtown and the closest field to the studios, with the Valley production lots minutes away. It does carry scheduled airline traffic, but private movements run through two dedicated FBOs entirely separate from the main terminal, so the experience stays streamlined. Runway length is more modest than Van Nuys, which can rule out the largest aircraft on full-fuel long-haul departures.
- John Wayne (SNA): In Orange County, 35 miles south, and the obvious choice for Newport Beach, Irvine and Anaheim — flying here rather than into central LA can save well over an hour of driving. Shared with commercial traffic but with dedicated private facilities. Its shorter runways and strict noise abatement procedures make it the most restrictive of the four for larger aircraft.
- Long Beach (LGB): 20 miles south of downtown, well placed for the South Bay, the ports and the north of Orange County. Light commercial traffic and multiple FBOs make it reliably less congested than the northern fields, and its long primary runway comfortably handles heavy jets — a useful alternative when Van Nuys is busy.
Noise curfews apply at several of these and affect late departures in particular. We'll flag any that bear on your schedule when quoting.

Los Angeles Private Jet Pricing
Private jet charter in Los Angeles starts from around $4,350 for a turboprop on a short regional leg, rising to $100,000+ for a nonstop transatlantic on an ultra-long-range aircraft. Our quotes are final, all-in prices – repositioning, taxes, landing fees, handling and crew included, with nothing added afterwards.
Total cost depends on your route, aircraft category and time of year. The four most requested legs each call for something different:
- Los Angeles to Las Vegas – from $5,500, 55m: The shortest and most frequently flown leg, comfortably handled by a light jet. A fixture of fight weekends, residencies and conference season, often booked same-day.
- Los Angeles to San Francisco – from $6,250, 1h 10m: Well within light jet range and viable as a there-and-back for a single morning meeting.
- New York to Los Angeles – from $35,000, 5h 20m: The transcontinental staple, flown nonstop by a super midsize aircraft. Among the busiest private corridors in the country in both directions.
- London to Los Angeles – from $113,000, 11h 50m: The long-haul benchmark, requiring an ultra-long-range aircraft to fly nonstop.

Los Angeles sees a broader range of aircraft than almost any other US market, largely because the flying splits so cleanly into short regional hops and long transcontinental legs – and the aircraft that suits one is rarely the right answer for the other.
For Vegas, San Francisco, Phoenix or Cabo, a light or very light jet does the job comfortably. A HondaJet will cover those legs in around an hour and cost a fraction of anything larger, and on a flight that short the cabin matters far less than the schedule.
Transcontinental flying is where LA's fleet mix becomes distinctive. The Citation X built its reputation on exactly this route – it remains one of the fastest civilian aircraft ever certified, and LA–New York is the leg it was designed around.
Transatlantic flying from Los Angeles is a narrower field again. London nonstop is close to twelve hours and calls for an ultra-long-range aircraft – we'd recommend something like the Global 7500. These are the only types that make a nonstop transatlantic crossing without a technical stop, and West Coast availability is thinner than it is out of New York or Teterboro, so lead time matters more here than on any other route from LA.
Our network of over 19,000 aircraft means we can source the right type for your itinerary rather than the one that happens to be available. Recommendations follow from your route, group size, luggage and cabin preferences.
When to Visit Los Angeles
Los Angeles is a region you move around rather than a single destination, and the seasons change what's worth reaching.
Winter (January–March) is awards season and the busiest stretch of the year for private traffic into LA. The Academy Awards in March anchor a run of ceremonies and premieres, and aircraft availability tightens accordingly, so book weeks rather than days ahead.
Spring brings the best conditions of the year for getting out of the city. Santa Barbara's wine country is 35 minutes by air rather than two hours by road, and Palm Springs sits at a comfortable temperature before the desert summer arrives.
Summer (May–September) is reliably clear, warm and dry. Beach and coastline season, and when LA works best as a base: Cabo, Vegas and the Pacific Northwest are all short hops.
Autumn is the quiet recommendation: warm beach days without the crowds, the region's best light, and the mountain resorts opening up late in the season.
Year-round, the draw is concentration. Dining from Providence to Nobu Malibu, the Beverly Hills boutiques, and a coastline running from Long Beach to Point Dume. Our Global Concierge team can arrange restaurant access, yacht charter from Marina del Rey and ground transport across the region.
