Private Flights to Los Angeles and Southern California
Los Angeles and the surrounding areas of Southern California are among the most visited places in the world, and one of the busiest regions in the private charter market. Los Angeles sits alongside Paris, Rome, and London as one of the most culturally significant cities anywhere, and in a modern sense it may top the list.
The city is the heart of the entertainment world (Hooray for Hollywood!, after all), home to the major studios and many of the people who work in them. Los Angeles County is the most populous county in the United States, covering more ground than Delaware and Rhode Island combined.
The surrounding counties of Orange, Santa Barbara, Ventura, San Diego, Riverside, and San Bernardino are full of attractions, events, and resorts of their own. Our brokers are available 24/7 to help you plan private charter flights to Los Angeles and across Southern California.
Below you will find the top destinations we fly clients to in Southern California. You can also read more about the airports we use for charter flights across the region.
Anaheim
When it is time for a family weekend at the parks, fly private to Anaheim in Orange County. Spend it at world-famous Disneyland, or take the older kids to Knott’s Berry Farm in nearby Buena Park. (SNA) John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana is the closest field for your flight while you plan a night watching the Anaheim Ducks or the Los Angeles Angels. Orange County draws plenty of business travel too, and helipads around the area make helicopter transfers an option.
Burbank
Known as the “Media Capital of the World,” Burbank draws leisure flyers, media crews, and celebrities. Fly into (BUR) Hollywood Burbank Airport (legally Bob Hope Airport) and you are minutes from the major studios, including Warner Bros., Disney, ABC, Marvel, Nickelodeon, and NBC. If you are working with a production or traveling with a celebrity, we can also arrange your arrival at (VNY) Van Nuys Airport nearby.
Catalina Island
A weekend escape for many Angelenos, Catalina Island is a haven for hiking and some of the best scuba diving on the Pacific coast. Its airport, (AVX) Catalina Airport, sits on the island’s high ground and is known as the “Airport in the Sky.” It takes piston and light-turboprop aircraft only, in daylight hours, with a 12,500-pound weight limit and no jets, so we match you to an aircraft that can use it. You will land near Avalon, the island’s only city, with its beaches and boutique hotels.
Private Jet Charter Catalina Island
Irvine
Whether you are flying into Santa Ana’s (SNA) John Wayne Airport for business at one of Irvine’s many corporate headquarters, heading to the seaside resorts of Laguna Beach, or chasing the waves at San Clemente, Irvine is a popular destination for private aviation. The city is home to a number of large companies, and area helipads make quick transfers between meetings across Orange County an option.
Long Beach
Flying privately to Long Beach is easy when you book with us. Home to one of the largest shipping ports in the world and a major commercial hub in Southern California, Long Beach works just as well for a business trip or a weekend away. Fly into (LGB) Long Beach Airport and enjoy the museums, waterfront, and nightlife, with several other airports within easy reach of the city.
Private Jet Charter Long Beach
Los Angeles
With more music venues and nightlife than anywhere on the West Coast, Los Angeles has plenty in store for private jet travelers. (LAX) Los Angeles International Airport is one of the busiest hubs in the country, often called the “gateway to the West.” As busy as LAX is, private flyers can land at smaller airports that make the day far less stressful, and (VNY) Van Nuys Airport is the top choice, one of the busiest general-aviation airports in the United States.

Malibu
Malibu runs along the Pacific Coast Highway on the Los Angeles County coast. The most practical airports are (VNY) Van Nuys and (BUR) Hollywood Burbank, with (CMA) Camarillo and (OXR) Oxnard to the west. (SMO) Santa Monica Airport sits closest but handles smaller aircraft only and is scheduled to close at the end of 2028. However you arrive, the last leg into Malibu is the scenic drive up the PCH.
Mojave
Out in the high desert, most trips to Mojave, California land at (MHV) Mojave Air and Space Port, an advanced flight-test facility that also handles private flights. If your trip is for leisure, the surrounding desert has some of the best off-road riding anywhere.
Ontario
In San Bernardino County, Ontario is one of the larger cities in the Inland Empire, with its own commercial airport. (ONT) Ontario International Airport and nearby (CNO) Chino Airport serve private flights heading for inland California, and Ontario’s long runways and 24-hour operation suit larger jets well. If your destination is the eastern side of Los Angeles County, Ontario is often the most convenient choice, with major shopping and hotels close by.
Palm Springs
Charter a private flight to Palm Springs, in Riverside County east of Los Angeles. The area is known for its golf courses, desert resorts, and some of the most indulgent accommodations outside LA County, and it sits beside the Coachella Valley, home to the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival. We can arrange your arrival at (PSP) Palm Springs International Airport, with the nearby Bermuda Dunes and Thermal airports offering extra flexibility.

San Bernardino
San Bernardino is the largest city in San Bernardino County, with a diverse food and shopping scene. Your two best airport choices are (SBD) San Bernardino International Airport and (ONT) Ontario International Airport, with Ontario often the preferred field. If the beautiful desert resorts of Palm Springs are on your itinerary, (PSP) Palm Springs International Airport is the better bet.
Private Jet Charter San Bernardino
San Diego
Whether you are flying for business or pleasure, San Diego has plenty to offer, from its laid-back pace to its famously good weather. You have a couple of options for where to land. (SAN) San Diego International Airport, better known as Lindbergh Field, puts you right in the middle of the city, while the smaller (MYF) Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport just outside downtown offers a more private arrival.
San Luis Obispo
A hidden gem on the central California coast, San Luis Obispo is the kind of town where neighbors mingle at the farmers market and the pace slows down, which makes it a great weekend getaway. (SBP) San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport is the most convenient field, with nearby Oceano County Airport as another option.
Private Jet Charter San Luis Obispo
Santa Ana
Serving most of Orange County’s air travel, (SNA) John Wayne Airport is a popular field for private flights to the Los Angeles area. Interestingly, the airport is not actually in Santa Ana, which lies to the north; its entrance is through Irvine, with Newport Beach and Costa Mesa to the south. Formerly the Orange County Airport, it was renamed after actor and longtime Orange County resident John Wayne. Anaheim’s proximity drives much of the traffic, with families arriving from around the world for Disneyland and other attractions. Nearby (FUL) Fullerton Municipal Airport is another option for smaller aircraft.
Santa Barbara
More than a playground for the rich and famous, Santa Barbara is a cultural and economic anchor on the West Coast, and this coastal city rarely disappoints whether you come for business or pleasure. Most private clients choose (SBA) Santa Barbara Airport in Goleta for its convenient location. After you land, State Street’s mile of boutiques and restaurants is worth the stroll.
Private Jet Charter Santa Barbara
Santa Monica
Book a private flight to Santa Monica and enjoy one of Los Angeles County’s most photogenic beach cities, with its beachfront resorts, shops, and restaurants steps from the sand. We can arrange your arrival at (SMO) Santa Monica Airport, which handles smaller aircraft and is scheduled to close at the end of 2028, or at nearby (HHR) Hawthorne Municipal Airport.
Private Jet Charter Santa Monica
Van Nuys
Just outside central Los Angeles, (VNY) Van Nuys Airport is one of the busiest general-aviation airports in the United States. Its convenience and privacy make it a favorite for entertainment, business, and political travelers flying into the LA area. News, medical, and touring helicopters serving greater Los Angeles are based here, and the airport has appeared in plenty of films and shows over the years, from Casablanca to Entourage.
