Private Jet Empty Leg Flights

Empty Leg flights provide a significant discount if compared to standard prices, 30 – 75%. Discount amount is based on how close the route of the Client matches with an empty leg of an operator and how much ferry is needed. For example, an operator has an empty leg London to Geneva and you need to go on this date from London to Geneva. In this case discount can really be around 70 – 75%. Or you may need to go to Zurich. For an operator this means that they will have to add re-positioning from Zurich for Geneva that costs. In such case discount will most likely be 40 – 50%. To indicate price level, here is a list of empty legs with prices that we have performed:
Paris — London, Legacy 650, 13 seats, €5,500
London — Budapest, Challenger 350, 9 seats, €10,400
Geneva — London, Cessna XLS+, 7 seats, €7,500
London — Malta, Cessna XLS+, 7 seats, €8,500
London — Faro, Legacy 650, 13 seats, €8,500

An empty leg special offer is heavily discounted price compared to standard charter price. This offer appears when an operator needs to reposition between the sold flights. Lowest priced offers are available at short notice and it is needed to use it according to schedule.

An empty leg flight appears when a private jet flies without passengers, returning to home base of re-positions for the next booked flight. For example, Challenger 350 has a homebase at London Luton. There is a booked flight London – Barcelona. After this flight appears an empty leg Barcelona – London. Or one flight finishes at Milan and next flight is booked from Nice. Here there is an empty leg Milan – Nice.

Most simple way for the clients is to contact Vector Jet. We aggregate such offers from operators directly, several on-line operations systems and from other brokers. In our internal system there is a list to check what is available and current status of each empty leg. To use such offer you should be ready for some flexibility – in dates and in departure time, as discount is done for taking a leg in already existing schedule rather than arranging fully tailored.

Here there are some examples of flights to Europe:
New York – London, Global 5000, 12 seats, 75,000 euro
Dubai – Geneva, Gulfstream G650ER, 13 seats, 65,000 euro
Istanbul – Munich, Legacy 650, 13 seats, 32,000 euro
However, as such routes have quite a lot of traffic both ways, if you have some flexibility in dates it is possible to find an empty leg discounted offers.
