How it works
Understanding the mechanics behind private aviation's best-kept secret
Repositioning
After completing a charter, aircraft must return to their base or move to the next booking location. These flights happen regardless of passengers, creating opportunity.
Cost recovery
Fuel, crew, and maintenance costs occur whether the cabin is full or empty. Rather than absorb the full expense, operators offer these legs at steep discounts.
Fixed parameters
Empty legs have predetermined routes and timing. Limited availability and short notice windows enable extraordinary savings—up to 90% off standard charter rates.
Safety without
compromise
Certified operators
FAA Part 135 certified carriers with rigorous safety standards.
Professional crews
Experienced pilots with thousands of hours and regular certifications.
Maintained aircraft
Regular inspections exceeding manufacturer specifications.
Common questions
Can I choose my departure time?
Empty legs have predetermined departure windows based on operational requirements. While exact timing may have flexibility (typically ±2-4 hours), the date and general timeframe are fixed.
Are empty legs less safe?
No. Empty leg flights use identical aircraft, crews, and safety protocols as full-price charters. All flights are operated by FAA Part 135 certified carriers. The discount reflects operational efficiency, not reduced safety.
Can I book a round trip?
Empty legs are one-way flights. If matching empty legs exist for both directions, book them separately. Alternatively, combine an empty leg one way with a regular charter for the return.
How far in advance are deals posted?
Most empty legs appear 24-72 hours before departure, though some may have more notice. Timing depends on when operators confirm aircraft movements and positioning needs.
What if my plans change?
Cancellation policies vary by operator but are generally more restrictive than regular charters due to time sensitivity. Book only when travel dates are confirmed.
Is catering included?
Yes. Standard catering is included on all flights. Premium catering options are available for an additional fee, subject to availability and advance notice.
How do I book?
Click any available flight to view details and submit a booking request. Our team will contact you to confirm availability, finalize details, and process payment.
Can I bring pets?
Yes. Private aviation is ideal for traveling with pets. Inform us during booking so we can make appropriate arrangements with the operator.
