About Atlantic Aviation
Atlantic Aviation operates a 24/7 private terminal on the south side of Los Angeles International Airport, keeping general aviation traffic entirely separate from the commercial terminals that handle over 80 million passengers per year. The south ramp gives charter aircraft a dedicated footprint with full-service ground handling, fueling, and international arrivals processing with on-site customs clearance.
Ground transport from the south side FBO runs approximately 20 minutes to Beverly Hills, 15 minutes to Santa Monica, and 30 minutes to downtown Los Angeles. Century City falls within 20 minutes in normal traffic. For charter passengers traveling during awards season or major entertainment industry events, this routing avoids commercial terminal congestion entirely.
Atlantic's LAX location handles the full range of general aviation operations, from light jets on weekend runs to heavy iron arriving from international origins. International handling includes coordination with CBP for customs and agriculture inspection on the south ramp rather than diverting to commercial terminals.
The facility provides all standard FBO services: pilot lounges, passenger waiting areas, crew rest facilities, rental cars, and ground transportation coordination. Atlantic's network spans over 100 locations across North America, which allows corporate flight departments and charter operators to maintain consistent service levels when routing through LAX as a hub stop rather than a final destination.
Los Angeles ranks among the busiest charter markets in the country, driven by entertainment industry travel, major sporting events including the Super Bowl and Formula 1 Grand Prix, and corporate traffic from the tech and media industries headquartered on the Westside. Atlantic's south side location handles this volume around the clock and positions arriving passengers for the fastest possible routing to their LA destination without touching the commercial terminal complex.
