Private Terminal
A passenger facility dedicated to private aviation, separate from the main commercial terminal, often allowing curb-to-aircraft transit in under 15 minutes.
IN PRACTICE
At secondary fields like Teterboro and Van Nuys the entire airport is essentially private. At major hubs like London Luton or Los Angeles International, dedicated private terminals (the PS at LAX, the Signature Elite at LTN) provide the same experience even though airline traffic dominates the field.
