Van Nuys Private Jet Charter & Rentals

• Why is Van Nuys Airport (VNY) the preferred choice for Los Angeles?

  Van Nuys Airport (VNY) is one of the world's busiest general aviation airports and the primary choice for those traveling to Southern California. Unlike Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Van Nuys Airport (VNY)  is dedicated exclusively to non-commercial aviation, meaning you avoid the heavy congestion of major airlines. It offers a more discreet, efficient experience with several high-end private terminals located just minutes from Beverly Hills, Bel Air, and the Hollywood Hills.

• How much does it cost to charter to or from Van Nuys?

  The cost to charter a private jet to or from Van Nuys depends on the aircraft type, route, and flight duration. Below are estimated hourly rates (in USD):

  • Very Light Jets, Light Jets & Super Light Jets (4–6 passengers):
    Approx. $2,000-$4,000 per flight hour

  • Midsize Jets & Super Midsize Jets (6–9 passengers):
    Approx. $4,000-$8,000 per flight hour

  • Large Jets & Ultra Long-Range Jets (10–14 passengers):
    Approx. $8,000 -$14,000 per flight hour

  • VIP Airliners (18–50+ passengers) – e.g., Lineage 1000, Boeing BBJ, Airbus ACJ: Approx. $16,000- $23,000+ per flight hour

• What is the fastest way to get to Beverly Hills or Downtown LA?

  While driving is the standard, Los Angeles traffic is notoriously unpredictable. The fastest way to bypass the 405 or 101 freeways is a private helicopter charter, which can land you at various helipads in Downtown LA or near the Westside in under 15 minutes. By car, Van Nuys Airport (VNY) offers the most direct access to the San Fernando Valley and the residential areas of the Westside.

• Can my car pick me up directly at the aircraft?

  Yes. One of the hallmark luxuries of Van Nuys Airport (VNY) is tarmac access. Depending on specific security protocols at your chosen flight facility, your chauffeur can often meet you directly on the ramp, allowing you to transition from your jet to your vehicle in seconds without ever stepping foot inside a building.

• What are the operating hours and noise restrictions at Van Nuys Airport?

  VNY is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, it is subject to strict noise abatement programs. The airport has a "Curfew" on certain noisier aircraft between 11:00 PM and 7:00 AM. Most modern private jets meet the current noise requirements and can operate throughout the night, but it is always best to verify with your flight coordinator.

• Do I have to be a Jet Card member to charter a flight?

  No. You do not have to become a private jet card member to charter a private jet on demand or as needed. Call us at +1-877-727-2538 to speak with one of our friendly Aviation Advisors about your trip. 

• How far in advance do I need to book?

  Ideally, it’s best to book your flight a month or two in advance for best aircraft availability but you can book charter flights with as little as 4 hours of notice.

• Is it OK to bring my pet on a charter flight?

  Yes! Pets are welcome in the cabin, but please inform your Paramount Aviation Advisor beforehand. We’ll ensure the selected operator is pet-friendly and properly prepared.

• Is Wi-Fi included on my jet?

  Most private jets do have Wi-Fi, but not all. It’s best to let your Paramount Aviation Advisor know that Wi-Fi is important. Some operators charge extra, and some include it in the charter price.

• How does Paramount ensure the safety of the aircraft and crew?

  Paramount Business Jets employs one of the strictest safety policies in the industry. From vetted operators to real-time safety checks, we ensure every flight exceeds all safety margins required by law.

• Are there customs procedures on international flights?

  Yes, but they are typically fast and discreet via private terminals (FBOs). Your Aviation Advisor will coordinate all customs and immigration arrangements.

• Do I need a visa for international private jet flights?

  Yes. Entry requirements are the same as commercial travel. Our team will advise you on the necessary visas and passport requirements based on your citizenship and destination.

• Are empty leg flights available to and from Van Nuys?

  Yes. Because VNY is such a high-traffic hub, "empty leg" opportunities—discounted one-way flights—are frequently available. These can offer savings of up to 50–75%, though they require significant flexibility as they are dependent on another client's schedule.

• Can I charter a private jet for events or large groups in the Los Angeles area?

  Yes, we can arrange Group Charters using regional turboprops or even executive airliners (VIP Airliners) for corporate retreats, wedding parties, or sports teams. We can handle groups ranging from 10 to 100+ passengers.
