Departure & Arrival Airports
Los Angeles, CA
Los Angeles is the entertainment and business capital of the West Coast, home to Hollywood, Silicon Beach tech companies, and major corporate headquarters. The LA metro area offers multiple private aviation airports, with Van Nuys Airport (VNY) being one of the busiest general aviation airports in the world — handling more private jet traffic than LAX itself.
Private Aviation Airports
- LAX — Los Angeles International Airport
FBOs: Atlantic Aviation, Signature Flight Support
- VNY — Van Nuys Airport
FBOs: Signature Flight Support, Castle & Cooke Aviation, Jet Aviation
- BUR — Hollywood Burbank Airport
FBOs: Atlantic Aviation
- SMO — Santa Monica Airport
Ground Transportation
Private car services and luxury SUVs are standard for FBO transfers. Van Nuys is 20 minutes from Beverly Hills and 30 minutes from Downtown LA. LAX private terminals offer direct tarmac-to-vehicle service.
Seasonal Considerations
Year-round flying weather with rare delays. Awards season (Jan–Mar) and summer see peak private aviation demand. June gloom can bring morning fog to coastal airports but rarely impacts operations.
Aspen, CO
Aspen is the premier luxury ski destination in North America, attracting ultra-high-net-worth travelers, celebrities, and corporate retreat groups. Aspen Airport (ASE) is one of the most challenging airports for private aviation — situated at 7,820 feet elevation in a mountain valley with strict noise abatement procedures and aircraft size restrictions (no aircraft over 95 feet wingspan).
Private Aviation Airports
- ASE — Aspen/Pitkin County Airport
FBOs: Atlantic Aviation, Signature Flight Support
Ground Transportation
Aspen Airport is just 5 minutes from downtown Aspen and the ski lifts. Luxury SUV transfers are the standard. During ski season, the town is compact and walkable from most hotels.
Seasonal Considerations
Ski season (December–April) sees extreme charter demand and pricing. Summer and fall offer hiking, biking, and the Aspen Ideas Festival. The airport's mountain location means weather-related cancellations are common in winter — turbulence, wind shear, and low visibility can force diversions to Rifle (RIL) or Eagle (EGE).
Insider Knowledge
Travel Tips for Los Angeles to Aspen
Aspen Airport (ASE) restricts aircraft with wingspans over 95 feet — no large-cabin jets like the Global 7500 or G650.
Mountain weather changes rapidly. Morning flights have the best chance of reaching Aspen without diversion.
Eagle County Airport (EGE) in Vail is the backup if weather closes Aspen — it's a 2-hour ground transfer.
Ski season weekends (especially Christmas week and Presidents' Day) sell out weeks in advance. Book early.
