Empty Leg Private Jet Flights
Fly Private When an Aircraft Is Already Repositioning

An empty leg private jet flight occurs when an aircraft is scheduled to fly without passengers, usually because it needs to reposition for another journey.

When an empty-leg route matches your travel plans, it can provide an alternative way to access private aviation.

What Is an Empty Leg?

A private aircraft may need to fly from one airport to another without passengers before or after a booked charter.

That repositioning flight is commonly referred to as an empty leg or empty-leg flight.

If your departure, destination and schedule align with the aircraft’s movement, you may be able to book the available sector.

Why Consider an Empty Leg?

Potentially Different Pricing

Empty-leg flights may be offered at a different price from a conventional on-demand charter.

Access to Unique Routes

Available empty legs can create opportunities on routes that may not otherwise be planned around your trip.

Private Aircraft Experience

You can still enjoy the advantages associated with private aviation.

 

Best for Flexible Travellers

The greatest opportunities are generally for travelers who can adjust their departure time, date or route.

Are Empty Leg Flights Always Available?

No.

Empty-leg availability depends on existing aircraft schedules, repositioning requirements and operational factors.

Routes and departure times can change, and an empty leg may disappear once the aircraft’s primary charter requirement changes.

Empty Leg vs Regular Private Jet Charter

Empty Leg:
The aircraft is already scheduled to reposition, and your travel plans need to align with that movement.
