Up to 75% off retail charter
Empty legs are priced to recover the cost of repositioning. The savings are real, not marketing math.

Everything you need to know before your first charter or aircraft transaction.
An empty leg is a one-way private jet flight without passengers, scheduled because the aircraft needs to reposition or return to base after a booked trip. Rather than fly empty, the operator offers the leg at a significant discount. The aircraft, crew, and onboard experience are identical to a full-priced charter.
Savings typically reach up to 75% off retail charter pricing. As a guide, a route quoted at $40,000 on a standard charter often books for $10,000 to $15,000 as an empty leg. Pricing depends on the aircraft category, route, and how close to departure the leg is offered.
Empty legs have fixed routes, dates, and aircraft. They exist to recover the cost of a flight the operator was already going to fly. If your schedule is flexible enough to match an existing leg, the savings are real. If your plans require a specific departure time or routing, an on-demand charter is the better fit.
Send us your preferred route and date range. We monitor available empty legs daily across an 11,000+ aircraft network and will share matches as they appear, including legs before they are published.
