The others are in White Plains, N.Y.; Naples, Fla.; and West Palm Beach, Fla. Two more private terminals are planned to open this year in Dallas and Teterboro, N.J.The locations of Flexjet’s private terminals were determined by where the company experiences its greatest demand. Van Nuys is one of Flexjet’s busiest destinations.Executive Vice President of Sales D.J. Hanlon said the company had found the right location, the right partner and the right time to address the growth in the Southern California region.“The new terminal has outstanding features including a private ramp so that our clients can choose to drive directly to their aircraft or enjoy privacy inside the terminal to wait for their travel companions,” Hanlon said in a statement.Throughout the lounge of the Van Nuys terminal are oversized black and white photographs that evoke the romance of old Hollywood, rock ‘n’ roll, business and the arts that pay tribute to 50-year history of legendary aviation pioneer Clay Lacy, the namesake of the facility, Flexjet said in a release.
