Empty Leg Flights

When a client charters a private jet it’s not necessarily at the desired location for the customer, or after reaching the customer’s destination the following aircraft charter is not likely to depart from the same location. This means to position the aircraft to the next location, it would have to fly without passengers on board. This part of the journey without passengers is what in the aviation industry we refer to as an ‘Empty leg’.

How much does an empty leg flight cost?

Empty leg flights can be up to 75% cheaper than a regular private jet charter, however, there are several factors that you need to consider before booking an empty leg flight. Firstly, empty legs are most of the time one-ways trips, they happen due to when certain aircraft need relocating or returning to their base. Empty leg flights are usually available at short notice, so you have to react fast to acquire the aircraft.
