Private Jet Charter Los Angeles

Los Angeles has four primary private aviation airports, each serving a different part of the metro. Van Nuys Airport (VNY) is the main hub — 25 miles from downtown LA, handling more private jet operations than any other airport in California. FBOs include Jet Aviation and Atlantic Aviation, both offering private terminals, valet, catering, and international customs coordination. Burbank Airport (BUR) is 20 miles from downtown with a Signature Flight Support FBO — a good alternative when VNY is congested, and slightly faster from Pasadena, Glendale, or the Valley. Santa Monica Airport (SMO) is the closest option to Beverly Hills, Bel Air, and West Hollywood — approximately 8 miles, 15 to 20 minutes — with Supermarine Aviation as the FBO. It handles light and midsize jets only. Hawthorne Airport (HHR) serves the South Bay and Manhattan Beach corridor. Haute Jets recommends the airport based on your hotel, final destination, and aircraft size.

With VNY being the most aircraft-dense airport on the West Coast, Haute Jets almost always has a jet already positioned locally.

Santa Monica Airport (SMO) is approximately 8 miles from Beverly Hills — around 15 to 20 minutes by car with typical LA traffic. It is the fastest door-to-door option for residents of Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Brentwood, and West Hollywood for light and midsize jets. Van Nuys Airport (VNY) is 22 miles north and offers significantly more aircraft availability and can accommodate all jet sizes including heavy and ultra-long-range aircraft. For most private jet clients in Beverly Hills, the choice depends on aircraft size: SMO for smaller jets, VNY for midsize and above.

Haute Jets can also source empty legs on this route at significant savings.

Yes. Los Angeles to London is approximately 10 to 11 hours non-stop on an ultra-long-range jet such as the Gulfstream G650ER, Bombardier Global 7500, or Dassault Falcon 8X. These aircraft have the range to fly the route non-stop, arriving at London Farnborough (EGLF) — 35 miles southwest of central London and the preferred private aviation airport — or Stansted. Haute Jets handles all transatlantic flight planning, APIS submission, UK customs coordination, and overflight permits. Departure is from Van Nuys (VNY) or Burbank (BUR).

Common aircraft choices for Los Angeles to New York non-stop are the Citation X (the fastest civilian charter aircraft at approximately 5 hours block time), Gulfstream G450 and G500 (approximately 5.5 hours), and Challenger 350 (approximately 5.5 hours). All fly non-stop from VNY or BUR to Teterboro (TEB). The Citation X is the fastest option if time is the priority. The Gulfstream G450 and G500 offer more stand-up cabin height and baggage capacity for groups of 8 to 10. Haute Jets will recommend the best aircraft based on your passenger count, luggage, and budget.
