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.
