Popular Routes from Los Angeles
The most-requested private jet routes from the Los Angeles area. All pricing is estimated and varies by aircraft type, routing, and availability.
Los Angeles to New York
The premier transcontinental corridor. Heavy and super-midsize jets cover the 5.5-hour eastbound crossing nonstop, connecting Van Nuys or Santa Monica directly to Teterboro or Westchester. A staple for entertainment, finance, and media sectors.
Los Angeles to Las Vegas
The shortest premium private jet hop in the country. At under an hour from Van Nuys to Henderson Executive, this is the go-to route for weekend getaways, entertainment, and same-day business trips. Light jets are perfectly suited.
Los Angeles to Aspen
A high-demand ski-season route connecting LA's luxury market to Aspen/Pitkin County. Midsize jets handle the roughly 2-hour crossing efficiently, with crews familiar with Aspen's demanding high-altitude single-approach runway.
Los Angeles to Miami
A 5-hour transcontinental route connecting two of the most active luxury markets in the US. Midsize and super-midsize jets are well-suited, with direct access to Opa-locka or Fort Lauderdale Executive on arrival.
Los Angeles to San Francisco
A 1-hour shuttle between California's two largest business centers. Light jets make the hop efficiently — no TSA lines, no connections, no delays. Preferred by tech executives, venture capital, and the entertainment industry.
Los Angeles to London
Ultra-long-range aircraft connect Los Angeles to London Heathrow or City Airport nonstop in approximately 10–11 hours. The Gulfstream G650ER and Global 7500 are the preferred platforms for this transatlantic crossing.

Los Angeles Private Jet Airports
The greater Los Angeles area offers more private aviation terminal options than almost any market in the world. We advise on the best departure point based on your location, destination, and aircraft requirements.
The Primary LA Private Aviation Hub
Van Nuys is the busiest dedicated general aviation airport in the world and the gold standard for private jet departures serving Los Angeles. No commercial airline traffic, streamlined security, and a full range of FBO services. Centrally located for access to Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and the San Fernando Valley.
Preferred for West Side & Malibu Clientele
Santa Monica Airport provides a convenient departure point for clients based on the Westside — Santa Monica, Malibu, Brentwood, and Pacific Palisades. Dedicated to general aviation with excellent FBO services and significantly shorter ground times than LAX.
Ideal for Studio & Entertainment Sector Clients
Burbank serves as the go-to terminal for clients based near the major studios — Warner Bros, Disney, Universal, and NBC are all within minutes. BUR handles both private and limited commercial operations and is well positioned for clients in Burbank, Glendale, and Pasadena.
South Bay & South LA Departures
Hawthorne Municipal Airport serves South Bay clients including Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, and El Segundo. A practical private aviation option with full FBO services and no commercial traffic, HHR is ideal for clients south of the 10 freeway who want to avoid the drive to Van Nuys.

A Different Standard
of Private Aviation
Chronos Air Group, operated by Jetstreme Aviation LLC, was built for clients who regard private aviation not as a convenience, but as a professional standard. Every charter from Los Angeles is handled with the same precision we apply to intercontinental crossings.
We do not move volume. We manage experience.
Safety First
All operators in our network hold FAA Part 135 certification. Crew vetting, maintenance logs, and safety records are reviewed on every booking.
4–6 Hour Wheels-Up
For most Los Angeles departures we can have an aircraft and crew positioned in under 6 hours of confirmed booking — often same-day.
Aircraft Matched to Route
We don't just source available aircraft. We select the right aircraft for your route, passenger count, and altitude requirements.
Dedicated Flight Coordinator
One point of contact. From initial enquiry through ground transportation and post-flight follow-up — you speak to a person, not a portal.
"Van Nuys to Teterboro, wheels up at 7am. Arrived refreshed, meeting ready, two hours ahead of any commercial option. That margin is why we fly private."
Everything You Need to Know About Flying Private from Los Angeles
Which Airport Should I Use for Private Jet Departures in Los Angeles?
For most LA-based clients, Van Nuys Airport (VNY) is the preferred departure point. It is the busiest dedicated general aviation airport in the world, handles no commercial airline traffic, and sits centrally between the Westside, Hollywood, and the Valley. Santa Monica Airport (SMO) is the better choice for clients in Malibu, Brentwood, and Pacific Palisades. Burbank (BUR) serves the studio and entertainment corridor efficiently, and Hawthorne (HHR) is ideal for South Bay clients.
We recommend the right terminal based on your home address, destination aircraft size, and ground logistics — a conversation that takes two minutes and saves significant time on travel day.
How Much Does a Private Jet Charter from Los Angeles Cost?
Pricing depends primarily on aircraft category and route. As a general guide for LA departures:
- Light jets (e.g., Phenom 300): $3,500–$6,000 per flight hour — ideal for Las Vegas, San Francisco, and short hops
- Midsize jets (e.g., Citation XLS+): $5,500–$9,000 per hour — suited for Aspen, Miami, Chicago, and cross-country routes
- Heavy and ultra-long-range jets (e.g., G650, Global 7500): $9,500–$18,000+ per hour for New York, London, and intercontinental routes
Chronos Air Group provides all-inclusive pricing on request so there are no surprises on the day of departure.
How Long is the Flight from Los Angeles to New York by Private Jet?
The westbound crossing from New York to Los Angeles takes approximately 5.5 hours. The eastbound crossing from Los Angeles to New York is slightly faster at approximately 4.5–5 hours due to favorable jet stream winds. Heavy jets including the Gulfstream G550, Challenger 650, and Global 6000 are the most common platforms for this route. Midsize jets can make the crossing with a fuel stop if preferred.
Can I Fly from Los Angeles to International Destinations by Private Jet?
Yes. Ultra-long-range aircraft connect Los Angeles to Tokyo in approximately 11 hours, London in 10–11 hours, and Sydney in approximately 14–15 hours with a fuel stop. LAX handles international private departures with full customs infrastructure. Van Nuys can also handle international departures with advance customs coordination. Our team manages all permits, overflight clearances, and ground handling at destination.
