Origin

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.

Ground Transportation

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.

Destination

Phoenix, AZ

Phoenix and Scottsdale form the premier desert destination for both business and luxury travel. Scottsdale Airport (SDL) is the top private aviation facility, surrounded by world-class resorts, championship golf courses, and the spring training facilities of Major League Baseball. The area attracts heavy charter traffic during winter months from cold-weather markets.
