The Los Angeles – San José route is among the most requested by the private operators in our international network. Van Nuys Airport is aéroport d'aviation générale le plus actif du monde, which allows an aircraft to be positioned quickly whenever a slot frees up.
The Cessna Citation M2 positioned on this route offers 6 seats and a cruise speed of 700 km/h, giving 1 h 04 door-to-door over the 468 km segment.
Demand is not linear: trade shows, holiday periods and major sporting events concentrate movements and make slots scarce. Conversely, mid-week lulls multiply empty return flights. It is precisely in these windows that the best quotes appear on this route.
An empty leg is the repositioning of an aircraft after a mission. The operator already bears the fuel cost, crew and fees: reselling the segment at €4,250 rather than flying it empty remains rational for them. The trade-off is simple: the time window is narrow and the offer disappears as soon as a full charter is confirmed on the same aircraft.
This segment is advertised for departure within 72 h. On a route such as Los Angeles – San José, the average lifespan of a repositioning offer is measured in hours, not days. A request submitted before midday typically receives an operator confirmation the same day, subject to crew availability and slot allocation.
The Cessna Citation M2 generally accepts cabin and hold luggage for all 6 seats, within limits specific to each airframe. Ski equipment, golf clubs, fragile instruments or pets in the cabin: mention it in your request, and the operator will confirm feasibility before any firm booking.
Departure takes place from the Van Nuys Airport FBO: vehicle parking at the foot of the aircraft, document checks within minutes, a private lounge for accompanying guests. At San José, San Jose Mineta follows the same approach. Allow twenty minutes before block time; luggage is loaded into the hold while you're already on board.
Technically, a departure can be arranged in four to six hours if an aircraft and crew are available. In practice, confirming twenty-four hours ahead secures slots at Los Angeles and San José much more reliably.
For the whole aircraft. The 6 seats of the Cessna Citation M2 are included in the stated amount: the cost per passenger falls automatically as more travellers board.
