Seattle's private demand is led by tech and aerospace, flowing largely through Boeing Field. California business runs and summer Pacific-Northwest leisure shape the calendar. Los Angeles runs on Van Nuys, one of the world's busiest general-aviation airports, plus Burbank and Orange County. Entertainment, tech, and a constant Las Vegas and Bay Area shuttle drive heavy one-way demand.
Most Seattle–Los Angeles private traffic moves through dedicated business-aviation airports rather than the crowded commercial terminals. On the Seattle end that means Boeing Field/King County International (BFI) and Seattle-Tacoma International (SEA); arrivals into Los Angeles favor Van Nuys (VNY) and Hollywood Burbank (BUR). Flying these FBO-served fields means curb-to-cabin in minutes and no main-terminal queues on either side.
At 941 miles this is squarely light and midsize jets territory — aircraft like the Citation XLS+ and Embraer Phenom 300 have the range and cabin to fly it comfortably nonstop, which is why they make up most of the empty-leg supply on the route. Demand peaks around the summer season and the fall tech-business calendar out of Seattle and award season in winter and the summer travel stretch into Los Angeles, when repositioning flights — and therefore empty legs — are most frequent.
