ViewHow empty legs work
Why empty legs exist and why prices vary
- 1
Aircraft reposition empty
After a one-way charter, an aircraft often has to fly back to base or on to its next client with no passengers on board. That repositioning sector is the empty leg.
- 2
Operators list the availability
Rather than fly empty, operators publish the seat or the whole aircraft at short notice. We surface that third-party availability here so you can see what is on offer.

You enquire and they respond
Send one free enquiry on any listing and the relevant provider comes back to you directly. We never take payment and we do not arrange the flight ourselves.

Frequently asked questions
What is an empty-leg flight?
An empty leg is a repositioning flight with no passengers, created when an aircraft needs to return to base or move to its next departure point. Operators often release these sectors at a reduced rate because the aircraft is flying anyway.
Why do empty-leg prices vary so much?
Pricing depends on the aircraft type, the route, how close the departure is and how keen the operator is to fill the sector. Because availability is perishable and last minute, prices move constantly and the same route can look very different from one day to the next.
Do you sell or arrange empty-leg flights?
No. PrivateJetDirectory.io is an independent directory and information service. We list third-party availability published by operators and brokers. We are not an operator, air carrier or broker and we do not sell or arrange flights.
Why is the live listing sometimes empty?
Empty-leg availability changes by the hour and there may be nothing matching your needs at any given moment. Setting up a free alert is the best way to hear about new flights as soon as they are listed.
Is there any charge to enquire or set up alerts?
No. Sending an enquiry and setting up empty-leg alerts are both free. We never ask for payment or card details.
I am an operator with empty legs to list. How do I add them?
