Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is the primary commercial gateway to the Greater Los Angeles Area, serving as the second most populous metropolitan region in the United States. Known globally by its IATA airport code “LAX,” the airport’s three-letter designation is commonly pronounced as individual letters: “L-A-X.”
LAX is located in the Westchester neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, just 18 miles southwest of downtown. The airport spans over 3,500 acres and is recognized as one of the world’s busiest airfields by total passenger volume and cargo throughput.
In 2021, LAX recorded over 506,769 aircraft movements, making it the fifth-busiest airport in the United States and one of the top global hubs for commercial and cargo flights. It features nine terminals and four runways, supporting millions of domestic and international passengers annually.
While most private jet travelers in Los Angeles prefer airports like Van Nuys (VNY) or Santa Monica Airport (SMO) for flexibility and privacy, LAX offers full-service FBO facilities for business jets and charter aircraft.
JetOptions Private Jets coordinates secure and efficient private charter flights in and out of LAX for long-haul international routes, transcontinental business trips, or when passengers require connectivity with commercial flight terminals. FBOs at LAX include elite providers such as Atlantic Aviation and Signature Flight Support, offering:
LAX is often used by international travelers connecting to or from private flights.
