Prices may be based on an aircraft family represented by the model shown. These estimates use a reference travel date and may differ for your chosen dates.

Aircraft selection and estimated flight times
Aircraft selection: The five aircraft models displayed for each route are the most frequently used on that route in the flight records. Flights across the cities’ main airports are combined when selecting them.
Estimated flight times: Flight times are calculated estimates based on route distance, aircraft performance and recorded durations for the same aircraft model or comparable flights. Times are rounded to the nearest 5 minutes and may vary with routing and operating conditions. Flight-time calibration uses records from 2020 through October 2026.
Flight activity: sources and methodology
Activity methodology: LunaJets filters and enriches the recorded flights by matching them to airports, cities and aircraft categories, then aggregating them. Figures cover 1 January to 31 December 2025. The figures include private and business jets, VIP aircraft and turboprops. Helicopters and scheduled airline flights are excluded. The data was generated on 14 October 2026. This generation date is separate from the activity year.
Definitions: A private aviation movement is one recorded departure or arrival at an airport serving a city. A flight between Los Angeles and another city counts once in Los Angeles’s route total, whether arriving or departing. A return flight counts as a separate movement. A connected city is a distinct city with at least one qualifying private aviation flight to or from Los Angeles during 2025. The connected-city count covers the routes included in this dataset, not just those displayed in the table.
Busiest periods: Busiest periods identify a significant seasonal concentration in recorded movements in both directions during 2025. Isolated spikes are filtered out. Year-round means no qualifying seasonal concentration was identified, although activity can vary between months. A classification requires at least 30 annual movements, 99% statistical significance and an average monthly activity rate at least 1.75 times the rest of the year. Single-month periods also require recurrence checks using January to August 2026 records.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Los Angeles airport is the most convenient for private jet travellers?
It depends on where you are headed. Van Nuys (VNY) is the busiest private jet airport in the U.S. and ideal for Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and the San Fernando Valley. Burbank (BUR) works well for access to Hollywood Studios and downtown. Hawthorne (HHR) is efficient for the Westside and Silicon Beach. LAX is the best choice if you are connecting with long-haul commercial flights.
What visa or entry requirements apply when flying private into Los Angeles?
All travellers flying privately to Los Angeles must comply with U.S. entry rules. Nationals of Visa Waiver Program countries may visit for up to 90 days using an ESTA travel authorisation obtained before departure. Other travellers must apply for a B-1/B-2 visa in advance. Passports should be valid for the duration of the stay and contain blank pages for entry stamps. LunaJets will verify your specific requirements and ensure all documents are in order.
How far in advance should I book a private jet to Los Angeles?
For Los Angeles, it is advisable to book several weeks in advance, especially during awards season in February and March, around major events such as the Oscars or the Grammys, and during holiday periods like Thanksgiving and Christmas. These peaks create heavy demand at L.A. airports including Van Nuys, LAX, and Burbank. LunaJets often secures flights to Los Angeles at short notice, but advance planning ensures the best aircraft and slots.
Are there curfews or restricted operating hours for private jets in Los Angeles airports?
Yes—restrictions depend on which airport you use. Van Nuys (VNY) operates under a noise-ordinance that limits departures of noisier aircraft (Stage 2) between 22:00 and 07:00, and encourages quiet operations between 23:00-07:00 via its Quieter Nights program. LAX is open 24/7 for arrivals and departures, but engine run-ups, maintenance activities, and ground operations are restricted overnight (23:00-06:00) unless expressly approved. Your LunaJets advisor will align your flight time with the regulations at your chosen airport.
Can I bring my pet on a private flight to Los Angeles?
Yes, you can bring pets on a private jet to Los Angeles. Dogs must be at least 6 months old, microchipped, vaccinated against rabies, and documented via the CDC Dog Import Form. Cats do not need CDC rabies paperwork, but local rules may require rabies vaccination and a health certificate. If your dog has recently been in a high-risk rabies country, arrival must be through an airport with a CDC-registered animal care facility, such as Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). LunaJets will confirm the latest requirements and ensure all paperwork is compliant before your flight.
