Top Private Jet Airports near Los Angeles, CA
Charter a private jet to Los Angeles with Travel King International and land in the epicenter of global entertainment and commerce. From the boardrooms of Century City to the studios of Burbank, Los Angeles is a city where time is the ultimate luxury. Whether you are arriving for the Oscars, a high-stakes merger, or a weekend retreat in Malibu, our local team ensures you bypass the gridlock and arrive with the discretion required by the Hollywood elite.
While millions navigate the chaos of LAX, Travel King International clients experience a different altitude of Los Angeles. We prioritize arrivals at Van Nuys (VNY), the world’s busiest general aviation airport, or Burbank (BUR) for immediate access to the studios. Our headquarters at 2121 Avenue of the Stars in Century City places us directly in the “Business Triangle.” We don’t just understand the city’s geography; we understand its culture. From securing a last-minute slot at Van Nuys during awards season to arranging a helicopter transfer to the Coachella Valley, we manage the impossible.
- Van Nuys Airport (VNY) – The Celebrity Hub.
Located in the San Fernando Valley, VNY is the premier choice for private aviation in Los Angeles. It offers unparalleled privacy, multiple world-class FBOs (like Clay Lacy and Signature), and is the preferred gateway for 90% of private flights into the city. - Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) – The Studio Connection.
Ideally situated for clients heading to Warner Bros, Disney, or Universal Studios. BUR offers a much faster “wheels down to highway” time than LAX and is closer to Hollywood and Downtown LA. - Los Angeles International (LAX) – The Global Link.
While generally avoided for domestic charters due to congestion, the private suite at LAX (PS) is essential for clients connecting to international commercial First Class flights. - Santa Monica Airport (SMO) – The Westside Landing.
Subject to strict runway restrictions, SMO remains the closest option for clients staying in Santa Monica, Venice, or Pacific Palisades, offering a stunning approach over the ocean.
Los Angeles Private Jet Charter Pricing
The cost to charter a private jet to Los Angeles varies by route and aircraft class. The “Casino Run” from Las Vegas (LAS) is one of our most frequent requests, with Light Jets costing between $6,000 and $8,000 for the 45-minute hop to Van Nuys.
For the transcontinental flagship route from New York (Teterboro), a Super Midsize or Heavy Jet is required. Prices for this 5.5-hour flight typically range from $32,000 to $45,000, ensuring non-stop performance and the ability to sleep comfortably in lie-flat seating.
Flights from Cabo San Lucas (MMSD) are a weekend staple for our LA clients. A Midsize Jet for this 2.5-hour flight averages $15,000 to $20,000. Below are the estimated market rates for 2025/2026.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
About Los Angeles Private Jet Charter
Common questions about chartering a private jet to and from Los Angeles
Private jet charter costs from Los Angeles depend on aircraft size, destination, and availability. As a general guide, hourly rates start around $3,300–$4,400 for very light jets, $4,500–$6,500 for light jets, $5,500–$8,000 for midsize jets, $7,000–$9,500 for super midsize jets, and $9,000–$16,000+ for heavy and ultra long range jets. One-way pricing is available on most routes, and empty leg flights can reduce costs by 25–75% when available. Contact Travel King for a personalized quote based on your specific route, passenger count, and aircraft preference — quotes are complimentary and typically delivered within 30 minutes.
While we recommend booking 48–72 hours in advance to secure the best aircraft selection and pricing, Travel King can arrange private jet charters with as little as 4–6 hours notice on most domestic routes. Last-minute availability depends on aircraft positioning in your area. For peak travel periods — including major holidays, large sporting events, and industry conferences — we recommend booking 1–2 weeks ahead. International charters may require additional lead time for overflight permits and customs coordination. Our aviation advisors are available 24/7 at +1 323-997-4655 to assist with urgent requests.
Work with a broker that independently verifies operator safety credentials before every flight. Travel King only sources aircraft from operators holding ARGUS Gold or Platinum ratings, Wyvern Wingman certification, or IS-BAO registration — standards that fewer than 15% of U.S. charter operators meet. Every flight is reviewed for pilot experience, aircraft maintenance history, and insurance coverage before we present it to you. We have maintained a perfect safety record across 45+ years of operation. Unlike booking platforms that allow unvetted operators, Travel King’s dedicated aviation advisors personally audit each aircraft assignment.
Jet cards require purchasing prepaid flight hours (typically 25+ hours at $5,000–$15,000/hour depending on aircraft class) with fixed rates but annual commitments. Fractional ownership means buying a share of a specific aircraft ($500,000+) with guaranteed access but monthly management fees and multi-year contracts. On-demand charter — Travel King’s specialty — lets you book any aircraft, any time, with no membership, no upfront commitment, and no monthly fees. You pay only when you fly. On-demand charter is ideal if you fly fewer than 50 hours per year or want flexibility to choose different aircraft sizes for different trips.
Yes. One of the biggest advantages of private jet charter is that your pets fly in the cabin with you — not in cargo. There are no breed restrictions, no carrier size limits, and no additional pet fees on most charter flights. Your pet can sit beside you, move freely in the cabin, and travel stress-free. Travel King can arrange pet-friendly ground transportation and accommodations at your destination as part of our concierge service. We recommend mentioning pets when requesting your quote so we can ensure the selected aircraft and operator accommodate animals.
Los Angeles offers four premier airports for private jet travel, each with distinct geographic advantages. Van Nuys Airport (VNY) is the top choice for most private flyers — located in the San Fernando Valley, it is one of the busiest general aviation airports in the world, dedicated exclusively to private travel with multiple world-class FBOs, the ability to handle heavy jets, and absolutely no commercial airline congestion. Hawthorne Municipal Airport (HHR) is highly convenient for travelers heading to downtown Los Angeles, Manhattan Beach, or the South Bay, offering a highly efficient, ultra-private executive arrival. Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) is ideal for passengers accessing Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and the major entertainment studios, featuring premium executive terminals. Long Beach Airport (LGB) serves travelers heading to coastal communities or northern Orange County, providing a relaxed, uncongested alternative to LAX.
The busiest private jet routes from Los Angeles include Las Vegas (approximately 1 hour, from $9,000 one-way on a light jet), San Francisco and the Bay Area (approximately 1.5 hours, from $12,000), Scottsdale (approximately 1.5 hours, from $10,000), Aspen (approximately 2 hours, from $16,000), and Cabo San Lucas (approximately 2.5 hours, from $18,000). Empty leg flights are frequently available on these high-traffic corridors — Los Angeles to Las Vegas repositioning flights run almost daily, and West Coast positioning between Southern and Northern California is highly common. Contact Travel King for current availability and empty leg pricing.
Unlike national brokers operating from a single call center, our team has direct relationships with local FBOs at VNY, HHR, BUR, and LGB, real-time knowledge of aircraft positioning in Southern California, and the ability to coordinate same-day ground transportation, catering, and hotel accommodations through our full-service travel division. With 45+ years in the travel industry since 1979, ARGUS-verified operator sourcing, and 24/7 availability, Travel King combines local expertise with global reach. We are members of NBAA, ARC, GBTA, and ASTA.

Common Empty Leg Routes from Los Angeles :
How It works
Empty leg flights can save you 25-50% off standard charter rates, but they require flexibility. Because these flights are bound to strict repositioning schedules, departure times (usually +/- 2 hours) and dates (usually +/- 1 day) are subject to change based on the primary charter's activity.
