Its completion marks phase one of a $10 million, 6-acre expansion and upgrade project to create Los Angeles’ most exclusive and secure private jet facility.
(Los Angeles, Calif. – November 2, 2015) Clay Lacy Aviation has opened 2.5 acres of new ramp space at its Van Nuys Airport FBO to provide additional space for arrivals and departures, accommodate overnight parking and reduce the frequency of aircraft towing.
It marks the first phase of a $10 million, 6-acre development and improvement plan designed to create Los Angeles’ most secure and private corporate aviation complex. “We are excited that significant progress is being made toward completion of our much-anticipated South Campus,” said Clay Lacy Aviation President and CEO Brian Kirkdoffer. “Every detail of our new and improved facilities has been designed with the privacy, comfort and safety of our clients in mind.”

- 63,000 square feet of hangar space to house long-range aircraft
- 21,000 square feet of new office, training and meeting space to accommodate corporate flight departments and private events
- An indoor event space featuring the display of Clay Lacy’s iconic Lear 23, the first business jet to land at Van Nuys Airport in 1964
- 3.5 acres of aircraft ramp space
“This development is another example of Clay Lacy Aviation’s ongoing commitment to delivering the highest levels of safety, service and value,” Kirkdoffer said. “Today, our vision remains the same as it was when our company was founded in 1968 – great people, providing an exceptional aviation experience.”
