Airport History

Santa Monica Airport’s history began in 1917 as Clover Field, a military training base. In 1920, Donald Douglas established Douglas Aircraft Company here, transforming it into an aeronautical innovation hub where iconic aircraft like the DC-3 were developed. During World War II, the airport played a crucial role in aircraft production for the Allied forces. Post-war, it transitioned to civilian use, maintaining its importance for general and business aviation. SMO has hosted numerous significant figures from film, business, and politics. While its future has been debated, Santa Monica Airport remains a vital access point for private aviation in the Los Angeles area, connecting travelers to California’s rich aeronautical heritage.

How to access by private jet

Accessing Santa Monica Airport by private jet is efficient, offering a convenient alternative to larger commercial airports. Its strategic location west of Los Angeles optimizes flight times and landing procedures. Upon arrival, the airport’s proximity to major roadways facilitates quick transfers. Highways 10 and 405 are easily accessible, providing rapid connections to downtown Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, or Malibu beaches. For discretion and speed, luxury chauffeured car services are available. Helicopter charters can also be arranged for faster travel to destinations like Palm Springs or San Diego, or to avoid road traffic. Private Jets Connect collaborates with trusted partners to organize all transfers, ensuring a seamless door-to-door experience and coordinating every aspect of your arrival or departure for maximum comfort and efficiency.

Booking during major events

Santa Monica and the greater Los Angeles area host numerous major events annually, attracting significant international attention and increasing demand for private aviation. Key events include the Oscars and Golden Globes, transforming Hollywood into a global film industry hub. Music festivals like Coachella, though further afield, also generate substantial private air traffic. Major sporting events, such as Lakers, Dodgers, or Rams games, and prestigious golf tournaments, are other high-traffic periods. Trade shows and business conferences, particularly in technology and entertainment, further contribute to increased demand. During these times, booking your private jet several weeks or months in advance is highly recommended to ensure availability and optimal pricing. Private Jets Connect provides expert advice and assistance in planning, alerting you to peak demand periods and helping secure your flight at the best rates. Our local expertise ensures privileged access even during the most popular events.
