One way empty legs between Teterboro and Van Nuys, exactly as the operators list them. The operator confirms availability and the price with you directly.
Straight line distance between the two cities. Actual routing and flight time depend on the aircraft and the airports.
This is the westbound half of the New York to Los Angeles private run, 2,130 nautical miles. Teterboro is the second busiest source of arrivals into Van Nuys in our record, six legs against sixteen from Las Vegas and three from anywhere else. Going the other way, Van Nuys is one of the five destinations Teterboro produces most, level with Bowling Green on six and behind Toronto on fifteen, Washington on nine and Bedford on eight.
Two operators list it and one of them dominates. Pegasus Elite Aviation has five of the six legs and Silver Air the sixth. Every aircraft is a large or heavy jet, which is what the distance dictates: two Gulfstream GIV-SPs, two Bombardier Global 5000s and a Gulfstream GV from Pegasus, and a third GIV-SP from Silver Air. Published cabins run from thirteen to sixteen seats.
Three airframes carry the five Pegasus legs. N509CQ, a Gulfstream GIV-SP, takes two, N889PG, a Global 5000, takes two, and N889KH, a Gulfstream GV, takes one. Pegasus publishes a tail number on every one of its 34 rows in our record; Silver Air publishes one on none of its 37, so the sixth leg is a type and a seat count and nothing more.
Westbound is the slower direction here, on the operators' own figures. The six listings on this page publish block times from 4 hours 54 minutes to 5 hours 54 minutes. The seven on the reverse page, Van Nuys to Teterboro, publish 4 hours 24 minutes to 5 hours 6 minutes. Both the shortest and the longest published time is longer coming west.
Tightly clustered. Five of the six depart between 15 and 30 September 2026 and the sixth flew on 3 September. There is nothing on this corridor in our record before September and nothing after it.
Notice is short. Every listing entered our record between 1 and 9 September 2026, which put the departures between two and twenty two days ahead. On a corridor that turns over this fast the route alert catches more than checking the page does.
Approximate corridor between Teterboro and Van Nuys. Operators fly the sector direct; the airports each listing uses are shown on the flight itself.
One field at each end on every listing, both named by ICAO code, so there is no ambiguity about where you leave from or where you land, and the computed distance on this page uses the pair every leg actually uses. At 2,130 nautical miles this is a full transcontinental sector, which is why nothing lighter than a Gulfstream GIV-SP appears on it.

Every leg we have recorded between Teterboro and Van Nuys, in either direction, since 30 July 2026, whether it is still on the board or not. A leg leaves the board when the operator stops publishing it, and we cannot tell from outside whether it was sold or withdrawn, so these are counts of what was listed, not of what flew.
One bar per calendar month, from the first month in our record to the furthest date an operator has published so far. Grey bars are months already past, gold is this month and the months ahead. A blank month is a month we have no record for, and before August 2026 that means we were not yet recording. The months ahead hold only what operators have published up to now, and most empty legs appear days or weeks before departure, so those bars will keep growing. The shape says how far ahead operators publish, not how busy a month will be.

Each row is a pair of airports as the operator named them, in the direction flown. Both directions of the corridor are counted. An operator that names only the city leaves us the city, which is why some rows are city names.
The price on a card is the operator's figure for the whole aircraft. What that comes to per seat, across every type we see, is in how much an empty leg private jet costs.
No operator on this corridor publishes a price. All six listings say price on request, so the figure comes from the operator when you ask and we show nothing rather than guess. Neither Pegasus Elite Aviation nor Silver Air publishes a figure anywhere in our record, across 71 listings between them, and no Van Nuys listing carries one in either direction across all 131 legs we have recorded touching the airport.
What the listings do publish is the aircraft and the cabin. Seats are given on all six: thirteen on both Global 5000 legs and the Gulfstream GV, fourteen on the Silver Air GIV-SP and sixteen on both Pegasus GIV-SP legs. Five of the six carry a tail number, so on those you can see the individual airframe rather than only the type.
Block times are published on all six and five of them cluster: 4 hours 54 minutes on four legs and 5 hours on the Gulfstream GV. The outlier is the Silver Air GIV-SP at 5 hours 54 minutes, a full hour longer than the Pegasus listings for the same type on the same sector, so which listing you take is worth an hour of your day.
Ask the operator three things: whether the departure time can still move, what happens if the paid flight that created this empty leg falls through, and what the price actually is, since nothing on this corridor publishes one.
Teterboro to Van Nuys empty legs are posted days ahead, not months. Leave your email and we watch both directions for you, Teterboro to Van Nuys and Van Nuys to Teterboro, and send you nothing else.
