KVNY\/Van Nuys will shut 16R\/34L for multiple 80-hour blocks plus recurring night closures through February 2026, so expect serious disruption to operations.<\/p>\n

Here’s what’s currently planned:<\/p>\n

\"\"Those big 80-hour closure blocks are the ones to really watch out for. They start Sundays at 2230 and end Thursdays at 0600 local time, so the runway is effectively unavailable all day Mon\/Tue\/Wed <\/strong>during those periods. You can check the airport advisories<\/a> for any changes to these planned times (due to weather), but the easiest place to view them is the calendar on the airport website here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Based on the Notams available right now, the short runway 16L\/34R has no closures planned.<\/strong> But watch out here – it’s only 4000ft long, is limited to a single wheel configuration with a max weight of about 14000 lbs, so it will not be an option for most BizAv aircraft during the closures.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In terms of where else to consider, KBUR\/Burbank<\/strong> and KLAX\/Los Angeles<\/strong> are likely to be the main two contenders. We checked with the local handlers at both – no closure or restrictions are planned, so these should hopefully stay fully usable during the KVNY closures. Contact deets for both:<\/p>\n
