One way empty legs between Van Nuys and Salt Lake City, 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.
Salt Lake City draws on two cities more than any others and they are exactly level. Seventeen arrivals into Salt Lake City International sit in our record, from eight different origins, and Van Nuys and Las Vegas supply five each. Jackson Hole is next with two and the remaining five origins have one apiece. We publish both of the corridors at the top.
Three operators produced these five legs, on three different aircraft, which is not what the Las Vegas corridor into the same airport looks like. Silver Air listed two on a Hawker 900XP with eight seats, Clay Lacy Aviation one on a Dassault Falcon 2000EX EASy with eight, and Thrive Aviation two on a Gulfstream G600. Every one of the five legs from Las Vegas into Salt Lake City comes from a single operator.
Van Nuys is one of the largest departure fields on our board and this is a small corner of it. Seventy six recorded departures leave Van Nuys for 33 different destinations, led by Las Vegas on ten, Teterboro on nine and San Francisco on seven. Salt Lake City takes five, level with Oakland.
What the listings publish splits cleanly by operator, not by date. The Silver Air and Clay Lacy legs give a seat count and a block time every time, 1 hour 36 minutes on both Hawkers and 1 hour 24 minutes on the Falcon, against a great circle of 500 nautical miles. The two Thrive legs give neither, on this corridor or on any of that operator's 753 listings anywhere in our record.
In two separate bursts five weeks apart. The two Thrive legs went on 27 and 28 August 2026, back to back, and the other three fall on 20, 21 and 23 September. Nothing sits between them.
Notice runs from same day to three weeks. Measured from the day each listing entered our record to its departure, the five gave 0, 2, 10, 15 and 19 days. The 27 August leg appeared on the day it flew, which is why the route alert is worth more here than checking the page.
Approximate corridor between Van Nuys and Salt Lake City. Operators fly the sector direct; the airports each listing uses are shown on the flight itself.
Three of the five listings name Van Nuys and Salt Lake City International by ICAO code. The other two, both from Thrive Aviation, write Van Nuys, CA and Salt Lake City, UT with no code at all. Three separate operators in our record pair the name Salt Lake City with KSLC and no operator ever pairs it with anything else, which is why those two are counted here, but confirm the exact field with the operator before you plan the drive.

Every leg we have recorded between Van Nuys and Salt Lake City, 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 leg on this corridor carries a published price. All five say price on request, so the figure comes from the operator when you ask and we show nothing rather than guess.
That is the operators rather than a gap in our collection, and it is true of all three of them. Silver Air publishes no price on any of its 67 listings in our record, Clay Lacy Aviation none on any of its 40 and Thrive Aviation none on any of its 753.
Seats and block times come from three of the five. Eight seats on both Hawker 900XP legs and on the Falcon 2000EX EASy, 1 hour 36 minutes on the Hawkers and 1 hour 24 minutes on the Falcon. The two Thrive legs publish no seat count, no block time and no tail number, which is why three columns read Not stated on those rows.
We have recorded three legs coming back from Salt Lake City to Van Nuys, below our bar for a page of its own, so there is no reverse page yet. 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 which cabin you are actually getting.
Van Nuys to Salt Lake City empty legs are posted days ahead, not months. Leave your email and we watch both directions for you, Van Nuys to Salt Lake City and Salt Lake City to Van Nuys, and send you nothing else.
