About Operator 049dd9
Clay Lacy Aviation is a US FAA Part 135 charter operator based at Van Nuys Airport in the Los Angeles area, with operations also in Simi Valley, and its empty leg flights are listed on SkyAccess for travelers chasing one-way charter value. Empty legs arise whenever its aircraft reposition between charters, turning otherwise unused capacity into discounted one-way deals.
Founded in 1968 by aviation pioneer Clay Lacy, it is one of the longer-established large-cabin charter operators on the West Coast, known for premium, large-cabin private aviation. The operator holds the highest third-party safety ratings, including ARGUS Platinum and IS-BAO certification, so its operations have been independently audited against the strictest standards.
With Van Nuys as its home base, Clay Lacy aircraft reposition between Los Angeles and destinations nationwide and abroad, so Los Angeles empty legs and runs linking Southern California to the East Coast and beyond appear regularly. Flexible dates give you the best shot at a repositioning flight headed your way, and the same Part 135 operation that flies full-fare charter also flies the discounted leg.
