How long is the runway at TVL?
The longest runway at TVL is 8,541 feet of asphalt. That is long enough for the full range of business jets. What can actually operate depends on load, weather, elevation and the limits set by the operator, so confirm with them.
What is the elevation at TVL?
TVL sits at 6,264 feet above sea level. Field elevation that high shortens the runway available to a loaded aircraft, which is why operators are choosier about what they send.
Private jets often fly empty, heading home after a drop-off, or repositioning for the next pickup. Rather than fly them empty, operators sell those flights at a deep discount. They appear fast, disappear faster, and are scattered across hundreds of operators. EmpTleg puts them in one searchable place. You contact the operator directly; we never touch the booking and never take a cut of your flight.
