Jet Aviation Opens Van Nuys Terminal
The California facility joins a network of more than 30 FBOs worldwide.
Jet Aviation has opened an FBO complex at Los Angeles–area business aviation hub Van Nuys Airport (VNY). In 2016, the company was awarded a 30-year lease to redevelop the 17-acre site on the north side of the field, which a Pentastar Aviation/Basenet facility formerly occupied. Jet Aviation had been operating from temporary quarters during construction.
The $40 million location includes a 10,000-square-foot terminal and a 43,000-square-foot hangar with 8,000 square feet of office space and 30-foot clearance that can accommodate current and future ultra-long-range business jets, as well as a service center for sister company Gulfstream.
The facility was built to Leed Silver specifications using regional materials, energy-efficient lighting, and low-flow plumbing fixtures. It is the first to offer sustainable aviation fuel at Van Nuys, as well as the first of Jet Aviation’s locations to carry the blended fuel.
