- Airport hours, customs, slots and restrictions must be confirmed with the airport. Runway length alone does not establish operational suitability.

Used by business aviation for widebody VIP charters, aircraft too large for Van Nuys and passengers connecting to long-haul flights; 40 minutes from Downtown and 20 from Santa Monica and Beverly Hills in light traffic. FBOs sit on the south-west (Imperial Terminal) side; taxi times are long and fees high.
