Briefing

What we plan around at SNA.

Local constraints we build into every delivery window — curfew, customs, slots, transit, and ramp access.

01

Curfew + GANO — confirm the departure window at booking.

SNA enforces the General Aviation Noise Ordinance (mandatory) and a roughly 10pm–7am curfew (later starts on Sundays). Late-night departures need advance, expressly approved exemptions. We confirm the window before staging so catering isn't ready for a slot the aircraft can't use.

02

Noise limits on departure.

GANO caps measured noise; the famous steep noise-abatement departure (power cut after takeoff over Newport Beach) is part of operating here. A crew/passenger note, no catering impact, but it signals how tightly noise is managed.

03

Two FBOs — confirm which.

Delivery starts with the FBO the tail is on.

04

Newport/Irvine VIP + corporate.

Newport Beach leisure plus Irvine corporate HQs drive year-round demand.

05

Customs.

International customs handling may be limited — confirm clearance arrangements with the FBO before staging inbound catering.
