LOS ANGELES—Semi-private jet service Aero has announced a new route connecting Los Angeles and Salt Lake City. The route began operation on Jan. 23, 2025, coinciding with the Sundance Film Festival.

The service operates between Van Nuys Airport (VNY) and the General Aviation FBO at Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC), offering access Park City and Deer Valley. This marks Aero’s fourth leisure destination added in 2024, following routes to Napa, Palm Springs, and Las Vegas.

“Traveling to the mountains in the winter can be frustrating and time-consuming,” said Ben Klein, CEO at Aero. “We offer a jet experience that avoids busy commercial terminals and simplifies the transportation of winter gear. We’re introducing this route during the Sundance Film Festival, and we anticipate it will become a popular year-round option.”

Aero passengers use private terminals and streamlined check-in services. The company’s baggage policy allows travelers to check two bags, including oversized winter sports equipment, at no additional cost.

Aero has partnered with Go Rentals to provide ground transportation to Park City and Deer Valley resorts. Checked luggage and winter gear will be handled curbside by Aero staff and returned to guests within 15 minutes of arrival.

Fares for the new route will start at $900 one way, similar to first-class commercial ticket pricing between Los Angeles and Salt Lake City.

• Thursdays: Depart Los Angeles (VNY) at 10 a.m. PST, arrive in Salt Lake City (SLC) at 12:45 p.m. MST. Return flight departs SLC at 2 p.m. MST, arriving in Los Angeles at 2:50 p.m. PST.

Aero positions its service as an alternative to commercial first-class and private jet travel. In-flight dining includes seasonal menus from Los Angeles grocer Erewhon, and a bar is available. Starlink Wi-Fi provides connectivity for browsing, work, or streaming. The airline also allows dogs of all sizes in the cabin.
