Van Nuys Airport
Los Angeles · United States
Van Nuys (KVNY) is the world's busiest dedicated general-aviation airport. With multiple FBOs, no scheduled airline traffic and a 25-minute chauffeur ride into Beverly Hills, it is the operational home of Los Angeles private aviation — the default arrival for Hollywood, Beverly Hills and the Westside.
Einordnung
Van Nuys handles 100% general aviation — no airline traffic, no security queue, no terminal walk. The trade-off is a 7,997 ft runway, which is fine for most heavy and ULR jets but ratesheets-out the Boeing Business Jet for long transpacific legs (which reposition to LAX or Burbank). For G650, Global 7500, Falcon 8X and super-midsize charter, it's the right LA call every time.
