Under one hour block time between the two biggest business-aviation clusters on the West Coast. A light jet (Citation CJ3+, Phenom 300E) is the everyday choice: four to seven seats, direct in about 55 minutes, and the shortest gate-to-gate time on any of the SF-LA airport pairings.
San Francisco → Los Angeles · 545 km · 45m direct
The default tech-corridor field for Silicon Valley, roughly 15 to 25 minutes from Palo Alto, Menlo Park and Mountain View. 2,600 ft runway limits SQL to smaller light jets and turboprops; larger types depart from SJC or OAK.
The default arrival airport for the south Bay Area business-aviation traffic. 11,000 ft runway handles any private jet at max fuel, and Signature and Atlantic Aviation both operate on the field. Preferred over SFO for anything below Palo Alto.
The default private-aviation field for downtown San Francisco and the East Bay. Airline-length runways handle any type at max fuel. 20 to 35 minutes from Financial District via Bay Bridge.
The busiest general-aviation airport in the world and the default LA-basin private field. 8,001 ft main runway with no weight or wingspan restriction. Five major FBOs. 20 to 40 minutes from Beverly Hills, Century City and Malibu depending on traffic.
6,886 ft runway 3 miles north-west of Burbank and 20 minutes from Hollywood and downtown LA. Voluntary noise programme keeps commercial traffic within 07:00 to 22:00 airline hours; private movements outside that window need FBO coordination.
Used mainly for airline connections either side of the private leg. Airline-length runways impose no performance limit, but taxi times against airline banks make it the exception rather than the default.
