Citizens Advisory Council

The Van Nuys Airport Citizens Advisory Council was established by the Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners and approved by the Los Angeles City Council in 1985. The committee reviews issues affecting the operation of Van Nuys Airport and provides advice and recommendations to the Commission, Mayor’s Office, City Council and other appropriate agencies. Providing a means of communication between the Commission, the appointing authorities, the general aviation community and the public, the Citizens Advisory Council concerns itself with all aspects of general aviation operations, facilities development and land utilization at and around the airport. For complete bylaws, please click here.

The 20-member Council is comprised of three representatives appointed by the Board of Airport Commissioners, three representatives appointed by the Mayor of Los Angeles, and two representatives each appointed by Los Angeles City Council members from Districts 2,3,4,5,6,7 and 12.
