Private Jet Charter Van Nuys

Yes — Van Nuys is roughly 12 miles north of Beverly Hills, with chauffeur transfers of 25 minutes in light traffic. It is the closest GA-only airport to the Westside.

Yes for short legs — the 8,001 ft runway accepts BBJ at moderate fuel loads. Long transpacific legs that need maximum fuel typically reposition to LAX or Burbank.

Voluntary curfew 22:00–07:00 local. Older Stage 2/3 aircraft face additional restrictions; modern Stage 4 jets generally operate freely.

Clients landing at Van Nuys most often connect onward to: Private Jet Charter Los Angeles. Each destination guide lists VNY among its natural arrival airports and covers slot, FBO and ground-transfer logistics on arrival.

Submit a request with dates, passengers and luggage — we issue a confirmed, all-inclusive quote for VNY within 10 minutes. The quote pairs the aircraft with the FBO slot and ground transfer so the trip lands as a single sequence.

Off-peak weeks: 48–72 hours. Peak season at Van Nuys: 1–3 weeks for full control of slot pair and FBO; longer when a major event (see above) overlaps the dates.

Van Nuys handles every category from light jets up to heavy and ultra-long-range aircraft including Global 7500 and G650 missions. We match the cabin size and range to your passenger count, luggage volume and sector length — see the fleet page for layouts and performance charts.

Charter cost from Van Nuys is built from four blocks: (1) aircraft positioning to VNY (or home-base offset), (2) flight time multiplied by hourly rate for the chosen category, (3) landing, handling and parking at Van Nuys, and (4) concierge add-ons such as helicopter transfers or ground transport. We present a single all-inclusive number — no hidden fuel surcharges or segment fees. Visit the jet-charter-cost guide for a detailed breakdown by aircraft size.

Both. Most clients book by category (light / midsize / heavy) and we guarantee a comparable or upgraded aircraft in the same class. If you want a specific type — for example a Gulfstream G650 for a London–Los Angeles leg — we source the exact serial number and confirm its home base, cabin layout and crew currency before locking the quote.

Same-day departures from Van Nuys are possible when the aircraft is already on the field or within a 90-minute positioning radius. The fastest we have executed is 2.5 hours from signed quote to wheels-up. For predictable service, especially during peak weeks, we still recommend 48–72 hours so we can reserve the preferred FBO, crew duty-rest and slot.

Yes. Van Nuys is a high-frequency hub, which means repositioning aircraft create empty-leg opportunities daily. Discounts range from 40–75% versus a confirmed one-way, depending on how closely the published route matches your request. Browse live empty legs or set an alert — when a one-way repositioning flight lines up with your dates, we can lock it within minutes.

Distance drives two cost blocks: flight time (hourly rate × block time) and aircraft positioning. Short hops under 90 minutes from Van Nuys often use light or midsize jets with lower hourly rates. Transcontinental and intercontinental sectors need heavy or ultra-long-range aircraft at higher rates, but the per-passenger cost can be comparable when the cabin is fully utilised. We model every route from VNY to show the exact flight time, fuel burn and positioning offset before you commit.

Hourly rates step up by class: light jets (€3,000–€4,500/hr), midsize (€4,500–€6,500/hr), heavy (€7,500–€11,000/hr) and ultra-long-range (€11,000–€16,000/hr). The right class depends on passenger count, luggage volume and sector length from Van Nuys. We never upsell — if a super-midsize covers your London–Los Angeles leg with full bags, we quote that category rather than a heavy jet. See the jet-charter-cost guide for per-category cabin photos and indicative ranges.

Peak weeks — Cannes Film Festival, Monaco Grand Prix, Art Basel, New Year — push demand at Van Nuys up by 20–40%. Slot scarcity and crew duty-rest limits tighten supply at the same time. We publish a seasonality calendar for VNY so you can see high-pressure windows in advance. Booking 4–6 weeks ahead locks the pre-surge rate; last-minute charters during peak events trade at market premium but still confirm within hours when aircraft are available.
