What Is an Empty-Leg Flight?

What Is an Empty-Leg Flight?

Empty-leg flights occur when a private aircraft needs to reposition for its next charter booking. If a client books a one-way flight, the aircraft often needs to return to its base or travel to another location for its next assignment.

Instead of flying without passengers, these repositioning flights may become available for charter at reduced pricing.

For travelers with flexible schedules or routes, empty-leg flights can provide an opportunity to experience private aviation while paying considerably less than a standard private jet charter.

Availability depends on existing charter schedules, aircraft routing, and timing.
