Empty legs

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.

Tell us where you want to go — we will look for the empty leg

An empty leg exists for hours, not for weeks. A list published on a website is out of date by the time you read it, so we do not keep one: we watch the movements against your dates and come back with what is actually flying.

Give us the direction and the window you can travel in. The wider the window, the better the chance — most empty legs are found by people who can move their departure by a day.

Questions we are asked about empty legs

How do I get an empty leg with you?
Give us the direction and the window you can travel in. The wider the window, the better the chance — most empty legs are found by people who can move their departure by a day.
Why is there no list of empty legs on this page?
An empty leg exists for hours, not for weeks. A list published on a website is out of date by the time you read it, so we do not keep one: we watch the movements against your dates and come back with what is actually flying.
How quickly do you answer?
We answer within 30 minutes, around the clock, on +357 95 119759. If nothing suitable is repositioning on your dates we will say so plainly and quote the whole aircraft instead — an empty leg you cannot use is not a saving.
Is an empty leg the same as a last-minute charter?
They overlap but they are not the same. A last-minute charter is any flight booked at short notice, on the aircraft that can be arranged in time. An empty leg is a repositioning flight that already has to happen, sold cheaply to whoever fits its direction and its date. Most empty legs are by nature last-minute: they appear hours or days ahead, not weeks. If your dates are firm, ask for both — we will quote the charter and watch for an empty leg on the same corridor at the same time.
