Midsize Jet

Citation Sovereign+

8–9 Passengers
3,200 NM range
458 mph cruise

The Sovereign+ is a sharp choice for VNY–TEB eastbound. Its range comfortably covers the segment and the tailwind can reduce block time to under 4.5 hours. A stand-up cabin with enclosed lav keeps everyone productive.

Ideal for: Executive teams, business travel, groups of 4–9 who value efficiency.
Super-Midsize Jet

Challenger 350

Ideal for: Groups up to 10, anyone who wants maximum cabin comfort on the transcon crossing.
Heavy Jet

Gulfstream G550

14–16 Passengers
6,750 NM range
488 mph cruise

The G550 is the definitive coast-to-coast aircraft. Multiple cabin zones, a stand-up walk-around interior, full galley, and dual lavatories. On a strong jet stream day, VNY to TEB can take just over 4 hours.

Ideal for: Large groups, entertainment industry, anyone demanding the very best cabin experience.
The Experience

Fly East, Arrive Fresh

The eastbound transcon is the private aviation traveler's secret weapon. With a favorable jet stream, the Van Nuys to Teterboro segment regularly clocks in under four and a half hours — faster than the westbound leg and often significantly faster.

Van Nuys Airport sits at the heart of the San Fernando Valley, minutes from Beverly Hills, Studio City, and the major entertainment campuses of Burbank. Your driver drops you at the FBO, your crew is briefed, and you're airborne heading east.

When you roll out at TEB, it's still business hours in New York. The clock jumped three hours forward, but the jet stream made up the difference. Your car is waiting. The cabin behind you still smells like the coffee you brewed at 35,000 feet.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before your first private charter flight.

The VNY to TEB segment typically takes approximately 4 hours 30 minutes eastbound. With a favorable jet stream, block times under 4 hours are not uncommon. Actual time depends on routing and wind conditions on the day of travel.

Yes — the eastbound transcon benefits significantly from the prevailing jet stream, which typically flows west to east at 30,000–40,000 feet. Tailwinds of 80–150 mph can reduce block time by 30–60 minutes compared to the westbound leg.

We primarily depart from Van Nuys Airport (VNY), the busiest general aviation airport in the greater Los Angeles area. In New York, we arrive at Teterboro Airport (TEB) in New Jersey, 12 miles from Midtown Manhattan. HPN (Westchester) is available on request.

Pricing varies by aircraft type and date. A midsize jet (Citation Sovereign+) runs approximately $33,000–$50,000 one-way. A super-midsize Challenger 350 is typically $44,000–$64,000. A heavy jet (Gulfstream G550) starts around $70,000. Contact us for a same-day quote.

Arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled departure. Van Nuys has no commercial terminals — you go directly from the FBO lounge to the aircraft ramp. No security lines, no gates.

The LA–NY transcon is one of the most active corridors for empty leg repositioning. These one-way discounted flights can offer significant savings but come with fixed routing and timing. Contact us to check current availability.
