Planet Nine Private Air Recognized for Community-Focused Flight Operations

The Friendly Flyer program serves as a critical bridge between private aviation and the residential neighborhoods surrounding Van Nuys Airport, one of the busiest business aviation hubs in the United States. To secure the award, operators must exceed standard compliance, demonstrating a consistent commitment to sustainable operating procedures and proactive coordination with airport noise management officers.

Mike Lewis, Director of Aircraft Management at Planet Nine, credited the achievement to the collective discipline of the company's flight crews and dispatchers. Based at the Van Nuys facility, the company specializes in ultra-long-range business jets, including Gulfstream and Bombardier models. This recognition reinforces their focus on integrating global charter operations with local environmental and stewardship responsibilities.
