When the aircraft is repositioning, the aircraft operator may not be able to find a full-price customer who wants a one-way charter to match that specific route and time, on that particular aircraft.
Since they need to move the aircraft anyway, the operator will generally be happy to offer the empty part of the flight at a significant discount, compared to the full charter price.
Empty leg flights are often available with up to a 50 – 75% discount on the usual charter price. The exact price will depend on the route and the operator. Operators are often prepared to offer exceptionally low prices at the last minute, if they haven’t been able to sell the flight. So if you are prepared to be flexible, an empty leg flight can be a great way of accessing private jet travel, at close-to-airline prices. An empty leg can be combined with airline flights or worked into a private charter schedule, to give a very cost-effective price for your trip.
Empty legs are fairly volatile and subject to change. An empty leg is one element of the operator’s schedule, based around other full-priced private jet charter bookings. So if that schedule changes, then the empty leg can change too.
And of course, they are a one-way flight, so unless that’s what you are specifically looking for, you would need to make alternative arrangements for the rest of your itinerary.
