Jet Partners coordinates charter requests with FAA Part 135 operators, not a direct air carrier.
Flight time and distance
Westbound flight times can vary materially with winds and ATC routing. Eastbound VNY-to-TEB trips are often faster because of prevailing winds.
Route detail Typical figure Departure Teterboro Airport (TEB) Arrival Van Nuys Airport (VNY) Straight-line distance Approx. 2,130 nautical miles Typical westbound flight time 5 hr 45 min–6 hr 15 min Typical eastbound flight time 4 hr 45 min–5 hr 30 min What it costs
For planning purposes, expect roughly $42,000–$85,000+ one way for aircraft suited to a transcontinental mission. Current charter pricing depends heavily on where the aircraft starts and whether the operator can use the trip efficiently within its schedule. Comparable market data currently places Teterboro–Los Angeles midsize planning ranges around $38,000–$55,000, although midsize aircraft may not be the best nonstop solution for every passenger load or wind condition.

|---|---|---|
| Light jet | $30,000–$42,000 | Generally requires a fuel stop |
| Midsize jet | $36,000–$50,000 | Possible with limitations; fuel stop may be required |
| Super-midsize jet | $42,000–$62,000 | Strong nonstop choice |
| Heavy jet | $58,000–$85,000+ | Nonstop with larger cabin and payload flexibility |
These are planning ranges rather than live quotes. 7.5% Federal Excise Tax (FET) applies to taxable U.S. domestic charter transportation, along with the applicable domestic segment tax. With Jet Partners, payment by card adds 4% versus payment by wire.
Aircraft recommendations for this route
Bombardier Challenger 350 — A strong transcontinental option with a stand-up cabin, good baggage capacity and the range to handle TEB–VNY nonstop under normal operating conditions.
Embraer Praetor 600 — Excellent range for a super-midsize aircraft, making it particularly well suited to westbound transcontinental flying.
Gulfstream G450 — A larger-cabin choice when passenger count, baggage, cabin space or additional operating margin matters more than minimizing charter cost.
Airports and FBOs
New York departure: Teterboro Airport (TEB) is generally the preferred private-aviation airport for Manhattan and northern New Jersey. Major FBO options include Signature Aviation and Atlantic Aviation. Depending on aircraft availability and passenger origin, Westchester County Airport (HPN) and Republic Airport (FRG) can also be considered.
Los Angeles arrival: Van Nuys Airport (VNY) is one of the principal business-aviation airports serving Los Angeles, particularly convenient for the San Fernando Valley, Beverly Hills, Bel Air and much of West Los Angeles. FBO options include Clay Lacy Aviation and Castle & Cooke Aviation. Depending on the final destination and operating requirements, alternatives can include Hollywood Burbank (BUR), Los Angeles International (LAX) and Long Beach (LGB).
Teterboro to Van Nuys private jet FAQ
How much is a private jet from Teterboro to Van Nuys?AnswerClose
A realistic one-way budget is approximately $42,000–$85,000+ for a nonstop-capable super-midsize or heavy jet. A lower quote may be possible when an operator has favorable aircraft positioning or an empty leg.
How far in advance should I book TEB to VNY?AnswerClose
For normal travel periods, booking 5–10 days ahead generally gives the charter desk more aircraft to compare. For holidays, major events and peak travel periods, two weeks or more is preferable. Same-day charter can be arranged when suitable aircraft and crews are available.
Are empty legs available from New York to Los Angeles?AnswerClose
They can be. New York–Los Angeles is a high-volume private aviation corridor, so repositioning flights do occur between the two markets. Empty legs are schedule-dependent and can disappear or change with little notice, so they work best for travelers with flexible timing.
Can I bring a pet on a private jet from Teterboro to Van Nuys?AnswerClose
Often, yes. Pet acceptance is determined by the operating carrier and specific aircraft, so advise Jet Partners about the pet's type, size and number when requesting the flight.
