Private jet charter to and from Van Nuys is the standard route for private aviation clients into Los Angeles. Van Nuys Airport (VNY / KVNY) sits in the San Fernando Valley, 20 miles north-west of downtown Los Angeles, 12 miles from Beverly Hills and 16 miles from Hollywood. Dedicated entirely to general and business aviation — no commercial airline traffic operates from the field — VNY is one of the busiest GA airports in the world, handling over 230,000 movements annually across two parallel runways.

Van Nuys is the primary private aviation gateway for the Los Angeles Westside and the entertainment industry. The airport's proximity to Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Malibu and the wider Westside makes it materially closer to most LA private clients than LAX, and the absence of commercial traffic delivers the operational advantages — fast taxi times, predictable slot availability, dedicated FBO infrastructure — that the LAX private terminal cannot match. Hollywood, Century City and the entire entertainment, music, sports and finance executive base operates through VNY by default.

The airport has a 8,001-foot primary runway (16R/34L) with full ILS, accommodating all aircraft types up to ultra-long-range jets and most VIP airliners, alongside a 4,013-foot training runway for light aircraft. VNY operates 24 hours a day for runway movements, with the FAA control tower staffed 06:00 to 22:45 daily. The airport runs a voluntary "Quieter Nights" noise abatement programme, asking aircraft to avoid 23:00 to 07:00 movements where possible — a community programme rather than a curfew, and worth disciplined planning for departures and arrivals.
