After 15 years in business aviation, I’ve discovered that not every private jet journey comes with a sky-high price tag. One of the best-kept secrets in our industry is the empty leg flight. This option allows you to fly private at a fraction of the usual cost.
Whether it’s CEOs, families, or sports teams, I’ve seen clients save thousands by using these flights. If you’re flexible, an empty leg can give you the full private jet experience for up to 75% less.
Understanding Empty Legs
An empty leg occurs when an aircraft needs to reposition for its next mission without passengers. For example, a jet might carry clients from Paris to Nice. Its next charter begins in London, so it must fly from Paris to London empty.
Instead of wasting that flight, operators make it available at a discounted price. That’s the essence of the empty leg.
Why Empty Legs Are More Affordable
From the operator’s perspective, it’s simple economics: a discounted fare is better than flying with no passengers. Here’s why you pay less:
Reduced cost: Operators recover fuel and crew expenses.
Fixed route: You take the exact repositioning route.
Flexibility required: Times can shift if the main client changes plans.
The reward? You get to fly a Challenger, Legacy, or Gulfstream for a fraction of the charter price.
Who Should Consider Empty Legs?
Empty legs are perfect for travelers who:
Have flexible schedules.
Travel often between major hubs like London, Nice, Milan, Dubai, and Paris.
Want to experience private aviation without full charter rates.
Need last-minute options for leisure or business.
Over the years, I’ve seen everyone from high-net-worth families to company executives take advantage of this. It often turns a “maybe trip” into a “why not?”
