A convenient way to charter an entire jet at a significantly lower cost
Empty legs — empty aircraft flights
Chartering a private jet is not only a way to travel, but also a mark of exclusivity. Like other elements of a genuinely luxurious lifestyle, business aviation soon becomes a habit, and clients increasingly choose a private jet over a scheduled flight. Travellers who fly privately on a regular basis know the empty leg market well. Empty legs give access to better rates on a given route, or to a larger aircraft within the same budget. An empty leg is a repositioning flight with no passengers on board. It arises when a client charters a jet for their own route and schedule while the aircraft is based at another airport and has to fly to the departure point first. For example, a client needs to fly from Berlin to Rome, and the most convenient aircraft is based in Larnaca. The client charters the jet from Berlin rather than from Larnaca, so the Larnaca - Berlin sector becomes an empty leg. A traveller heading to Berlin who is willing to adjust their schedule can charter that sector at a substantially reduced rate, covering little more than passenger handling and crew costs. Empty legs are an accessible entry point into business aviation. Their one drawback is that they are difficult to find without a broker.
