Van Nuys Airport (VNY) is a dedicated general aviation airport located in the Van Nuys neighborhood of the San Fernando Valley, within the city limits of Los Angeles, California. Recognized as one of the busiest non-commercial airports in the United States, Van Nuys plays a critical role in supporting private aviation, business jet travel, charter services, aircraft maintenance, and aviation training operations.
The airport spans approximately 730 acres and operates two parallel runways, multiple full-service FBOs (Fixed-Base Operators), as well as various hangars and aviation facilities. Van Nuys Airport is entirely focused on general aviation traffic, meaning it does not accommodate scheduled commercial airline service. Instead, it specializes in private, chartered, and corporate flights, making it one of the most preferred and accessible private jet airports in the greater Los Angeles area.
VNY is owned and operated by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), the same governing body that manages Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). However, Van Nuys serves a different purpose—providing a less congested, faster, and more discreet alternative for high-profile travelers, celebrities, business executives, and individuals who value privacy and flexibility.
The airport features:
Due to its location and operational focus, Van Nuys is frequently used as a departure and arrival point for on-demand private jet charter flights throughout California, the United States, and internationally.
JetOptions Private Jets offers charter services to and from Van Nuys Airport, as well as other major and regional airports in Los Angeles County, including LAX, Burbank (BUR), and Long Beach (LGB).
