Empty Legs

Empty Legs

Privately negotiated one-way fares on aircraft already repositioning — the most considered value in private aviation, for the flexible traveller.

Discounted Positioning

An empty leg is a flight an aircraft must fly anyway — repositioning to collect its next client, or returning to base after dropping one off. Because the aircraft is already moving, those one-way sectors are offered at a fraction of the usual charter price.

For the traveller with some flexibility on timing or routing, empty legs are the most considered way to fly private: the same aircraft, the same crew, the same service — at a privately negotiated fare.

Why they're priced lower

The operator's cost of repositioning the aircraft is largely fixed whether anyone is on board or not. Selling that sector — even well below standard charter rates — offsets that cost, so the saving is passed to you. It is genuine value, not a compromise on the aircraft or the experience.

What to know before you book

Empty legs reward flexibility. A few things to keep in mind:

  • Routes and times are fixed by the aircraft's repositioning schedule
  • Availability is fluid and legs are released at short notice
  • A leg can change or be withdrawn if the underlying charter moves
  • They suit travellers who can flex a day or a nearby airport

Good to know

Frequently asked

Are empty legs reliable?

They are real, bookable flights — but because they depend on the original charter, they can occasionally change or be withdrawn. We keep you informed and, if a leg moves, will work to find you an alternative.

Can I change the route or timing?

Empty-leg routes and times are set by the aircraft's repositioning. Small adjustments are sometimes possible; otherwise a bespoke charter is the better fit and we're glad to quote one.

What if nothing matches my dates?

Register your interest with your preferred route and window. New legs are released constantly, and we'll alert you as soon as one fits.
